NOE vs DKA Match Analysis
The 15th Match of BPL 2025-26 sees Noakhali Express lock horns with Dhaka Capitals at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Scheduled at 1:00 PM BDT, this mid-tournament clash could shape playoff momentum, with both teams seeking to consolidate positions. The stadium’s balanced pitch promises an intriguing contest between bat and ball.
Noakhali Express have struggled to find form, losing their last three matches. Haider Ali, the captain and leading batter, will need to anchor the innings while the bowling attack led by Hasan Mahmud seeks breakthroughs. Their last outing against Rajshahi ended in a 6-wicket defeat despite a competitive 124/8, highlighting middle-order fragility.
The Dhaka Capitals need a quick turnaround after being dismantled for 122 in a 10-wicket thrashing by the Chattogram Royals. That result is symptomatic of their erratic form, driven largely by middle-order failures. The responsibility now rests with Mohammad Mithun and Usman Khan to lead the charge and fix the team’s trajectory.

Noakhali Express vs Dhaka Capitals Team Preview & Squads
Noakhali Express
Captain Haider Ali carries the dual responsibility of anchoring the innings and leading a struggling side. His aggressive strokeplay will be critical to set or chase competitive totals. The batting depth beyond him, however, remains a concern, particularly in handling spin-heavy attacks.
The team’s batting structure is skewed towards star players like Haider Ali, with support from Maaz Sadaqat and Kusal Mendis. Consistency in the middle order will be vital, especially against Dhaka’s spin duo of Rahatul Ferdous and Azmatullah Omarzai.
Bowling relies on Hasan Mahmud’s pace and accuracy, while spinners and all-rounders like Maaz Sadaqat offer flexibility. Early breakthroughs and tight death-over execution could tilt a close match in their favor.
