Dhaka Capitals and Rajshahi Warriors will clash in the third match of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL 2025) at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet on December 27, 2025.

Both Dhaka Capitals and Rajshahi Warriors will want to start well in the tournament and hence want to play their best playing XIs in this game. Therefore, we check out the top 3 player battles of the game.

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

1. Sabbir Rahman vs Abdul Saqlain

Sabbir Rahman is an excellent batter at the top for Dhaka Capitals in the BPL. He has 1929 runs with a strike rate of 122.01 in 105 games, with one ton and six fifties. Rahman has the ability to hit the big shots to both spinners and pacers alike and has played some promising knocks for the Bangladesh cricket team.

Abdul Saqlain is a newbie pacer for the Rajshahi Warriors and will be a new entity for Sabbir Rahman to counter. He has a decent record in T20s, with 15 wickets with an economy of 7.24 in 17 games. It will be interesting to see how the rookie pitcher will handle the ace batter.

2. Sahibzada Farhan vs Taskin Ahmed

Sahibzada Farhan has been in good form, scoring runs against India in the Asia Cup 2025, though Pakistan lost all three games. This is the first time for Farhan in the Bangladesh Premier League, and he comes in with his aggression against both pace and spin and an impressive T20 record with 4375 runs in 145 matches with six centuries and a best score of 162*.

Taskin Ahmed is the star bowler for Bangladesh. He is also the second-highest wicket-taker in BPL history with 127 wickets in 90 games and a record-best bowling figure of 7/19. He will look to keep Farhan on his toes with his speed and ability to bowl great changeup deliveries.

3. Mushfiqur Rahim vs Sandeep Lamichhane

Mushfiqur Rahim is a legend in Bangladesh cricket and has 3497 runs in 141 BPL games with 22 fifties and a best score of 98*. He is a brilliant middle-order player, known for his deft touches and sweep shots against spinners to keep the scorecard ticking.

Sandeep Lamichhane will be tasked with keeping Rahim in line and keeping him away from scoring. He boasts of 239 wickets at an economy of 6.64 in 161 T20 games. His time in the BPL has been short, but the leggie will want to impress this time.
