BPL 2025-26: Predicting the top 3 player battles for the match 15

Dhaka Capitals and Noakhali Express will clash in match 15 of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL 2025-26) tournament at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet on January 7, 2026.

Dhaka Capitals have struggled for form in the ongoing season, managing just one win in four matches. As a result, they have only two points on the table. Meanwhile, Noakhali Express have endured an even worse start, lost all four matches they have played so far.

Here are the predicted top 3 player battles for match 15 of BPL 2025-26:

1. Rahmanullah Gurbaz vs Zahir Khan

Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 31 runs in his first outing in BPL 2025-26. He has a decent record in the Bangladesh Premier League, with 204 runs in eight games. Overall, in 252 T20 games, Gurbaz has 6110 runs at a strike rate of 145.92 with two centuries and 27 fifties and a best score of 121*.

Zahir Khan has taken six wickets at an economy of 6.00 with best bowling figures of 3/8. Zahir is a countryman of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and he would know how to counter the attacking opening batter. He has found form with the ball in the last game as well.

2. Mahidul Islam Ankon vs Taskin Ahmed

Mahidul Islam Ankon has scored 113 runs at a strike rate of 96.58 in four games, with a best score of 61*. Ankon has started to find his form with the bat, but the strike rate is a huge issue for him. The opposition needs a good pacer to keep Ankon quiet in middle overs and hurt the scoring rate.

Taskin Ahmed has picked two wickets in three games in the ongoing BPL 2025-26. Taskin is yet to warm up fully in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League tournament, but if he gets his rhythm right, expect the pacer to bowl with good speed and accuracy.

3. Shamim Hossain vs Mohammad Nabi  

Shamim Hossain made 113 runs at a strike rate of 154.79 in four games, with a best score of 81*. Hossain has been named in Bangladesh’s T20 World Cup squad, and his strike rate shows why he is so highly regarded in the country.

Mohammad Nabi has played only one game this season and scored one run. Nabi is coming off a successful ILT20 2025 and has vast experience to know how to keep dangerous batters like Shamim reined in and in check.
