Chittagong Kings To Win, 1.72
While Chittagong Kings have been one of the best teams, the Dhaka Capitals has been one of the weakest this season
Chittagong Kings have a better rounded side with in-form players in all aspects of the game
Dhaka Capitals has list seven out of the nine matches it has played so far
The lack of depth in the Dhaka Capitals lineup forces them to play more conservatively than the other teams. The Capitals only managed three runs in the first over the last time they played Chittagong.
The Kings could score a high boundary count when looking at the strength of their batting lineup. They hit as many as 20 fours when they last played against the Capitals. This may be worth the bet for these odds.
The team from Chittagong have been the stronger outfit this season. They have a number of match-winners in their side who will be looking to claim more points against Dhaka. The Capitals will need to be sharp in this game to challenge a strong opponent.
Dhaka Capitals and Chittagong Kings have played each other once already this season. The Kings convincingly outplayed the Capitals to win by seven wickets.
Dhaka Capitals and Chittagong Kings meet at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram for this BPL match. In India, watch the game on Wednesday, 22 January 2025 on the live-streaming of the FanCode app.
The dynamic Bangladeshi opening pair of Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das form a strong opening partnership. Litton’s experience and consistency will be pivotal. He will want to show more of the same as he did with 70 runs against the Strikers.
JP Kotze, the wicketkeeper-batter, is newer to the lineup and will want to make an impact. Mosaddek Hossain and Sabbir Rahman add versatility and finishing power with the bat. The Bangladeshi batting duo have more than 3200 BPL runs between them.
Leading the team is the seasoned all-rounder Thisara Perera. His leadership skills and match-winning abilities with both bat and ball make him the backbone of the squad. He hit a quickfire 37 runs against Sylhet to add to his two wickets in the same game. Emerging talent Farmanullah adds depth as an all-rounder.
Mukidul Islam and Abu Jayed bolster the pace attack. The Capitals also boast world-class bowling options with Mustafizur Rahman’s lethal cutters and slower balls and Nazmul Islam’s smart spin. Rahman claimed two wickets in his previous game. The experienced Islam has 62 BPL wickets.
At the helm of this powerful squad is Mohammad Mithun. He is a reliable batter and wicketkeeper whose leadership skills will be pivotal. He made a contribution of 32 runs in his previous outing with the bat. The Kings’ batting lineup boasts the aggressive Usman Khan and Graham Clark as two explosive batters.
Clark hit a powerful 45 runs against Rajshahi. Naeem Islam and Haider Ali bring stability and flair to the lineup. Opener Naeem Islam scored a half-century in his previous innings and chipped in with two wickets too.
The dynamic Shamim Hossain adds versatility with his all-round abilities. He has 703 BPL runs with four half-centuries.
The bowling attack is spearheaded by the fiery left-arm duo of Shoriful Islam and Sri Lankan import Binura Fernando. Shoriful Islam took a handy two wickets in his previous game. Sri Lankan Fernando has 131 T20 career wickets.
Khaled Ahmed offers further firepower with his seam-bowling expertise. Arafat Sunny’s wily left-arm spin promises control in the middle overs. He is only five wickets away from 100 BPL wickets. Rahatul Ferdous rounds off the squad as another spinner alongside Sunny.
The Chittagong Kings won their previous match against Dhaka Capitals by chasing after electing to bowl first. Both captains may see chasing as the better option at the toss.
The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium pitch may offer a decent wicket for the batters to cash in on. The dryness of the pitch from numerous sunny days could bring the spinners into play if it starts to break up during this day game. The new ball bowlers will need to work hard inside the powerplay. The pacers will rely on clever variations and cutters after the ball stops swinging. In the previous game between the teams, Chittagong Kings chased a target of 178 inside the 20th over.
The matchday weather is expected to be sunny. With that, temperatures will also be scorching hot with a high level of humidity added to that. There is no rain expected.
The Chittagong Kings have a stronger batting lineup and a couple of bowlers in great form. They have also done much better than the Dhaka Capitals this season. We think the favorites are the team to back in this contest.
Bet on the Chittagong Kings to win.
