Dhaka Capitals and Noakhali Express will clash in match 22 of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL 2025-26) tournament at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet on January 11, 2026.
Dhaka Capitals have participated in five games so far and have lost three. They are worth four points. On the other hand Noakhali Express have lost all but one of their six BPL 2025–26 games.
Here are the predicted top 3 player battles in match 22 of BPL 2025-26:
1. Nasir Hossain vs Zahir Khan

Nasir Hossain made 131 runs at a strike rate of 136.45 in five games, with a best score of 90*, and has taken three wickets in five BPL 2025-26 games. Nasir Hossain came into his own, scoring his highest score in this edition of BPL 2025-26. He needs to continue this form for the rest of the tournament.
Zahir Khan has taken seven wickets at an economy of 7.12 with best bowling figures of 3/8. Zahir has done all he can to give his team every possible example, but the team has not been getting the results they want in this tournament.
2. Soumya Sarkar vs Mohammad Saifuddin

Soumya Sarkar made 66 runs at a strike rate of 122.22 in three games, with the best score of 59. Sarkar has found his groove in this BPL tournament. He has immense talent with the bat but has not been able to become a consistent performer. This BPL can be his resurgence arc, and he has done well to that end thus far.
Mohammad Saifuddin has taken four wickets in five games in this BPL season. Saifuddin has the best variations and speed to upset Saumya Sarkar’s rhythm. Sarkar needs to get in a groove to score freely, and if Saifuddin manages to disturb his concentration, he can get him out.
3. Shamim Hossain vs. Mohammad Nabi

Shamim Hossain made 113 runs at a strike rate of 154.79 in five games, with a best score of 81*. Shamim is the designated finisher, and he has done his job well. Shamim’s runs have come at a good pace, and he has become a big threat to the opposite teams.
Mohammad Nabi has scored 78 runs in three games at a strike rate of 113.94. Nabi’s experience has to be the counter to Shamim Hossain’s big-hitting talent. Expect the Afghan legend to be the one to keep Shamim quiet.
