Noakhali Express vs Dhaka Capitals Highlights, 15th Match | Jan 07: Nasir Hossain’s Unbeaten 90 Powers Dhaka Capitals to Dominant 7-Wicket Win

NOE vs DKA 15th BPL Match Highlights sets out the key moments from Dhaka Capitals’ seven-wicket victory over Noakhali Express at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Dhaka chased 134 in 14.1 overs, securing two points in the Bangladesh Premier League. The result kept Dhaka fifth on the table, with Noakhali remaining sixth.

Dhaka Capitals won the toss and elected to field on a surface that rewarded early discipline with the ball. The decision was validated almost immediately as Noakhali’s top order struggled for timing and continuity. The opening exchanges produced limited scoring, and Dhaka’s bowlers held tight lines through the powerplay to create pressure rather than chase wickets.

Noakhali’s innings never fully recovered from that restrained start. Soumya Sarkar, Habibur Rahman Sohan, Munim Shahriar, and Mahidul Islam Ankon were all dismissed cheaply, leaving the middle order to rebuild. Mohammad Nabi and Haider Ali eventually stitched together the only meaningful stand, with Haider’s 47 from 36 and Nabi’s unbeaten 42 from 33 providing late momentum. Despite their effort, Noakhali could only reach 133 for 6 from the full 20 overs, a total that reflected steady resistance rather than dominance.

Dhaka’s bowling plan was defined by control in the first half and targeted breakthroughs later. Imad Wasim’s economical four overs set the tone, while Hasan Mahmud struck twice early in the chase to remove Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Abdullah Al Mamun. Even as Noakhali searched for middle-overs pressure, Dhaka maintained a run rate that stayed comfortably ahead of the required.

The pursuit became one-sided once Nasir Hossain settled. He advanced the chase with a rapid fifty off 21 balls and continued with a commanding unbeaten 90 from 50, blending boundary hitting with calculated strike rotation. Supported by Irfaan Shukkur and then Imad Wasim, Dhaka crossed the target in 14.1 overs, finishing at 134 for 3 and closing the match with 35 balls to spare.
