Dhaka Capitals

At the top of the order, the Capitals have an exciting opening duo in England’s Jason Roy and young Tanzid Hasan. Roy’s aggressive approach will complement young Tanzid’s fearless stroke play. Tanzid hasan top-scored for Dhaka with 20 runs against Rangpur Riders.

The experience of Litton das and Sabbir Rahman gives the team batting depth. They are two batters who know how to assess Bangladeshi conditions. Between them, the pair have over 3800 BPL runs.

Seasoned Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera leads the struggling Dhaka Capitals. His experience and hard-hitting abilities will be key both with bat and ball. The 35-year-old Perera has more than 1000 runs and 70 wickets in the BPL.

The team’s all-round strength also comes from Mosaddek Hossain and Alauddin Babu. They provide crucial balance in both departments. Hossain has a BPL high score of 60 not out.

Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman is renowned for his deceptive variations and death-bowling skills. The fast bowler will spearhead the bowling attack alongside Amir Hamza and Mukidul Islam. Rahman was the most impressive against Rangpur with one for 23 in four overs plus one maiden.

The Afghan Hamza has more than 80 T20 wickets.

Sylhet Sixers

Rony Talukdar is expected to provide explosive starts at the top alongside power-hitter West Indian Rahkeem Cornwall. Cornwall can add handy off-spin too. Talukdar has eight BPL half-centuries. Wicketkeeper-batter Zakir Hasan brings reliability in the middle order.

The dynamic George Munsey is a batter known for going through the gears quickly. He is one of the gifted batters who has scored a century in every format of the game.

In the all-rounder department, captain Ariful Haque will need to be a calm presence and manage pressure situations. He hit 36 runs against Fortune Barishal in his previous batting innings. The versatile Aaron Jones and Jaker Ali add depth to the batting.

American Aaron Jones has almost 1000 T20 runs.

The bowling attack is led by England's left-arm pacer Reece Topley with his ability to swing the ball both ways. Topley has five four-wicket hauls in T20 cricket. Al-Amin Hossain and Tanzim Hasan Sakib add local pace firepower. Sakib took two wickets against Barishal.

Ruyel Miah rounds off a promising bowling unit. The Strikers will bank on a collective team effort to challenge their opponents and make a strong push for the title.

DC vs SS Toss Prediction

When the Sylhet Strikers played at home in 2024, they only managed a victory when they batted first. They could be inclined to bat first in this one. The Capitals may not be too bothered by either batting or bowling first.

Pitch and Conditions

The dry and hot weather will take its toll on this pitch. The surface may be low and slow, so batters will need to adjust their timing of their shots. The spinners should be the most effective type of bowlers throughout this match. They may also find some turn as cracks start to open up. The pace bowlers will need to use the new ball to their advantage.

After that, they will need to be clever with their use of variations in the middle and death overs. Sylhet’s only win at home in 2024 came when they scored 142 for eight in 20 overs in the first innings.

The weather on matchday is expected to be sunny and clear with warm temperatures and humidity. There is unlikely to be any rain with a zero percent chance.

DC vs SS Betting Tips

The teams from Sylhet and Dhaka finished at the foot of the table in 2024. Sylhet finished sixth and Dhaka finished seventh in 2024. Neither team has started this season well either. A win for either team could kickstart their season in a big way. Sylhet Strikers are marginal favourites after showing glimpses against the muscle of the Rangpur Riders despite the loss.

Bet on Sylhet Strikers to win this match.
