DKA vs NOE Match Analysis
The 22nd match of the 2026 BPL season features Dhaka Capitals taking on Noakhali Express at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. This late-stage fixture could be pivotal for both sides seeking momentum, and a day-to-evening game in Sylhet always promises tactical adjustments due to shifting conditions.
Dhaka Capitals have struggled for consistency, with a recent form of L L L W L. Their narrow loss to Sylhet Titans in the 18th match highlighted both their batting potential and lapses under pressure. Captain Mohammad Mithun’s leadership and Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s explosive top-order batting remain crucial for a turnaround.
Noakhali Express have had a similarly inconsistent run, although they clinched a win against Rangpur Riders in their last outing. Their L L L L L W sequence reflects resilience in patches, with Hasan Mahmud’s incisive bowling and Soumya Sarkar’s top-order firepower likely to define their strategy in Sylhet.

Dhaka Capitals vs Noakhali Express Team Preview & Squads
Dhaka Capitals
Mohammad Mithun brings tactical acumen and calm leadership, essential for guiding DKA through a patchy season. His ability to marshal bowlers in crucial moments could swing the match in Dhaka’s favor.
The batting unit revolves around Rahmanullah Gurbaz, whose aggressive starts provide the platform. Supporting him, Alex Hales and Sabbir Rahman offer experience and finishing capabilities, though the middle order has shown vulnerability under pressure, as evidenced in their loss to Sylhet Titans.
Bowling relies on Ziaur Rahman for breakthroughs, with Nasir Hossain adding all-round depth. Taskin Ahmed and Mohammad Saifuddin can exploit Sylhet conditions, but consistency in the death overs remains key.

Noakhali Express
Haider Ali’s leadership has guided NOE through difficult periods, instilling confidence in younger players while allowing experienced campaigners like Mohammad Nabi to lead by example.
Soumya Sarkar anchors the batting attack, offering both aggression and stability. Kusal Mendis provides depth, while their middle order may need to cope with pressure in high-scoring games, a factor likely at Sylhet’s batting-friendly surface.
Bowling strength lies with Hasan Mahmud, whose ability to strike early or contain runs in the middle overs can dictate the flow. Nabi’s all-round prowess provides flexibility, though the team’s reliance on a few key performers can be a double-edged sword.
