TEAMS PREVIEW
Dhaka Capitals Preview
Durdanto Dhaka, who were known as Dhaka Dominators last season, will be looking for a good start. Last year, they finished sixth on the points table with just three wins from 12 games.
Saif Hassan, who was with Fortune Bairshal last season, will lead the Dhaka side this year.
Batters to watch out for
A lot is expected from Mohammad Naim, and the opener will be itching to deliver. He has over 2000 runs in T20s at a strike rate of around 110.
Sri Lanka’s wicket-keeper batter, Sadeera Samarawickram can be a game-changer for the team at No.3. He is an experienced T20 batsman with 2272 runs in 91 matches at a strike rate of 120.59.
Mosaddek Hossain has been in good form of late and should be able to carry it over to the BPL. In the recent fifty-over Bangladesh Cricket League competition, the all-rounder blasted 117 runs in three innings at an average of 58.50 and a strike rate of 100.
Bowlers to watch out for
Taskin Ahmed will lead the pace bowling attack. The talented fast bowler had a great last season, finishing with 10 wickets in 9 games at an economy of just 6.02.
With Nasir Hossain not with the team this year, the onus of the spin bowling department will lie on the shoulders of Arafat Sunny and Pakistan’s leg-spinner Usman Qadir.
Dhaka Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Mohammad Naim, Saim Ayu, Sadeera Samarawickrama (wk), Saif Hassan (c), Chaturanga de Silva, Mosaddek Hossain, Arafat Sunny, Usman Qadir, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Alauddin Babu
Dhaka Capitals Actual Playing XI:
Irfan Sukkur, Mohammad Naim Sheikh, Mosaddek Hossain, Saif Hassan, Chaturanga de Silva, Arafat Sunny, Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Usman Qadir, Danushka Gunathilaka, Lasith Croospulle
Comilla Victorians Preview
Defending champions Comilla Victorians have a power-packed squad this year too. However, the start of the competition might witness the absence of some key players, as they are committed to participating in other leagues and fulfilling international obligations. Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed are currently engaged in a T20I series against New Zealand, while Rashid Khan is still recovering from injury. Manwhile, Andre Russell, and Sunil Narine will be busy with the International League T20, which starts later this week.
Batters to watch out for
Imrul Kayes successfully guided Comilla to back-to-back championships in both 2022 and 2023 and is back at the helm once again. He has accumulated an impressive total of 3,333 runs at a strike rate of 117 in 163 games.
Litton Das was the standout performer for Comilla last year, scoring 379 runs in 13 innings at a strike rate of 129.35. He is expected to do well this year, too.
Johnson Charles, too, was exceptional last year, collecting 308 runs in 9 innings at a strike rate of 146.
Bowlers to watch out for
Mustafizur Rahman will lead the pace unit again. He is an experienced campaigner and will do well on this surface. Tanvir Islam and Rishad Hossain will take care of the spin bowling duties until Noor Ahmed arrives after finishing the series against India.
Comilla Victorians Predicted Playing XI:
Litton Das (wk), Imrul Kayes (c), Johnson Charles, Rahkeem Cornwall, Towhid Hridoy, Khushdil Shah, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Tanvir Islam, Zaman Khan, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury
Comilla Victorians Actual Playing XI:
Imrul Kayes, Jaker Ali Anik, Khushdil Shah, Litton Das, Mahidul Islam Ankon, Towhid Hridoy, Matthew Forde, Mustafizur Rahman, Tanvir Islam, Musfik Hasan, Roston Chase
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka is known to be on the slower side and friendly for the spinners. Batting will be easier when the ball is new and coming on hard to the bat. However, once the pitch slows down a little, the ball will start gripping the surface. Since this is a day game, there will be no concerns about dew, and the pitch should remain true throughout.
The weather in Dhaka will be a little cloudy, but overall pleasant.
DH vs CV Pitch Report
The average first inning score at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in domestic T20s is 150. The highest total posted here is 221-2 by Fortune Barishal while chasing against Minister Group Rajshahi in 2020 in the Bangabandhu T20 Cup. Scores below 150 have happened on 108 instances on this venue in 233 T20 games, showing that this is a low-scoring ground. A target of around 160 should be a match-winning one.
Toss: To Bowl
This venue usually favors the chasing team. Out of the 233 domestic T20 matches played here, 125 have been won by the team batting second.
DH vs CV
Winning Prediction
Comilla Victorians have an 8-5 head-to-head record against Dhaka. Despite the absence of several key players, the reigning champions have a very strong team and have almost all bases covered. In contrast, Durdanto Dhaka’s bowling attack looks rather weak on paper. Their batting will have to fire big time to conquer the opposition. That may not be enough, as Comilla appear to be the favorites, with their batting expected to dominate Dhaka's weak-looking bowling.
Back Comilla Victorians to clinch the season opener.
