The Rajshahi Warriors and Chattogram Royals finished at the no. 1 and no. 2 spots in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL 2025-26) tournament points table. They will clash in Qualifier 1 of the tournament, and the winner of this game will qualify for the BPL 2025-26 final.

Here are the predicted top 3 player battles of Qualifier 1 of BPL 2025-26:

1. Mohammad Naim vs Tanzim Hasan Sakib

Mohammad Naim has scored 233 runs at a strike rate of 133.14 in 10 games thus far in BPL 2025-26, with the best score of 54*. Naim has scored runs freely at the top and will be responsible for giving his team the best start possible in this important game.

Tanzim Hasan Sakib has taken 11 wickets at an economy of 8.12 in eight games, with the best bowling figures of 4/17. Sakib thrives on his aggression, and that will come in handy when he bowls to Mohammad Naim. The extra pace might put Naim in trouble and if Sakib gets him out early, it will be the best start possible.

2. Najmul Hossain Shanto vs Tanvir Islam

Najmul Hossain Shanto has scored 329 runs at a strike rate of 140.59 in 10 games, with the best score of 101*. Shanto has been in excellent form with the bat and has scored at a good rate. He will be targeted in the Qualifier 1 game, as if he gets out early, his team will be under pressure. But if Shanto tees off, his team excels.

Tanvir Islam has taken 13 wickets at an economy of 6.72 in nine games, with best bowling figures of 3/8. Islam might be tasked to counter Shanto and maybe get him out early. If Shanti does not get out early, Tanvir Islam may be tasked with reining in his scoring rate.

3. Mahedi Hasan vs Mushfiqur Rahim

Mahedi Hasan has 154 runs at a strike rate of 138.78 and has taken 13 wickets at an economy of 6.89 in 10 games in the ongoing BPL 2025-26. Mahedi has done extremely well with the bat and the ball in the tournament. Hasan will lead his team from the front in this important game.
