BPL Points Table 2026: Live Standings & Net Run Rate on BJ Sports

Is there anything as volatile as the middle phase of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL)? With close finishes all over the place, what seems like a stable hierarchy gets turned upside down at a rapid pace, a dynamic that has been closely watched on BJ Sports. Entering January 15th, 2026, the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka is home to pitches that are now finally producing results that can punish the reckless slogger while also rewarding the technically sound player. The standings currently represent this chaotic environment. The Rajshahi Warriors are at the top of the standings by virtue of winning those “ugly” games, not by being dominant. Meanwhile, the Chattogram Royals are lurking with an impressive net run rate, which would indicate they are actually the best team in the competition, despite having a slight lag in points. This is the age-old “points vs performance” debate, and the dust is still settling.

The Deceptive Nature of the Warriors’ Lead

Looking at the live score page today, you can see Rajshahi currently at the top of the table with 12 points after playing 8 games, but when looking into the analytics section, you will be able to find some holes in the data for Rajshahi as they have an NRR of 0.367 which shows Rajshahi is winning close and tense matches rather than dominating their opponents. At the other end of the spectrum, Chattogram, who are sitting second in the table with 10 points, boast an NRR of 0.898, showing that they are not only beating their opponents but also dismantling teams. The statistical difference in how each team is performing is clearly illustrated through the deep dive metrics available on BJ Sports and suggests that if Rajshahi loses once, it could send them tumbling out of first place, and that’s even before taking into consideration Sylhet, who are currently tied on points.

Navigating the Chaos of the Mid-Table Scramble

As a result of playing one additional game than the current first-place team (they’ve played nine games), Sylhet Titans may be experiencing an inflated feeling of safety in third place, but they will find little room for error in terms of their upcoming cricket schedule. With fewer chances to rectify errors, Rangpur Riders’ position, currently at eight points, is also fragile. The inconsistency of their batting lineup – much like the unpredictable nature of the winter dew in Dhaka – leaves them with a negative Net Run Rate of .176. A significant loss today (Game 27) vs the Dhaka Capitals can theoretically provide an opportunity for the last-place teams, although that would require a mathematical miracle.

Dhaka and Noakhali’s Race to Avoid the Spoon

Speaking of miracles, let’s talk about the Dhaka Capitals and Noakhali Express. Both sit on 4 points with atrocious run rates. While fans checking livestreaming on Sportslivehub might hop in for the entertainment, the tactical reality is grim. Noakhali’s NRR of -1.101 is essentially a heavy anchor dragging them to the seabed. As noted in the player performance data on BJ Sports, their top order has failed collectively, turning every powerplay into a recovery mission rather than an attack.

BPL 2026 Points Table (As of Jan 16, 2026)

The league stage has now reached terminal velocity with today’s two-match day (Rangpur vs Dhaka & the Rajshahi vs Sylhet) to see if the Warriors are a legitimate contender or simply a lucky first-place team. The pitches in Dhaka are slowing down and have become ideal conditions for the spin masters, which will be crucial in determining which teams survive mathematically. I will be watching the BJ sports highlight show tonight, and how the captains decide to use their spinners in the middle overs will likely determine who makes the playoffs. It is no longer about being the best batter but about the need to survive.
