Dhaka Capitals
Fortune Barishal To Win, 1.65
This wicket is more batting-friendly than the one we get in Mirpur. That should suit Fortune Barishal.
Dhaka Capitals have been the worst team in BPL 2025 by far
Fortune Barishal has a stronger batting lineup and a more settled bowling unit also
Litton Das was in prime form in the last game, hitting a brilliant hundred with a strike rate of over 200. We are hoping he makes the most of that good form and continues to score well.
The opening batters usually have a bit of time on their hands before they start looking for big hits. A single is not an uncommon occurence of the first ball and the returns are quite attractive as well.
In the 21st contest of the Bangladesh Premier League competition, Dhaka Capital will take on Fortune Barishal on January 16th, 2025. This fixture will be played in the afternoon at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram, Bangladesh. Let's take a close look at the match preview, math prediction, pitch report, and betting tips for this encounter.
The Dhaka Capitals and Fortune Barishal teams have played each other on four occasions in the past in the BPL. Both teams share the honors with a 2-2 record. Dhaka Capital won the last game played between the two teams last year.
Indian fans can enjoy the live telecast of this game between Dhaka Capitals and Fortune Barishal on Zoom TV. They can also enjoy this contest live on the FanCode website and app.
This year, the Fortune Barishal team has done a reasonable job in the BPL. They played five games and won three while losing the other two. They have accumulated six points and have a net run rate of +0.838.
They lost their last match against Rangpur Riders, but they won the two games before this loss.
Barishal provided an excellent batting effort while batting first in the game. They scored 197 runs for the loss of five wickets. However, the in-form Rangpur team chased this target in twenty overs while losing seven wickets.
Tamim Iqbal will lead the batting charge for the Fortune Barishal team in this contest. In his last ten games, Iqbal has scored 361 runs with an average of 45.13 and a strike rate of 143.82. Kyle Mayers has also batted well for Barishal, scoring 358 runs from his last ten appearances with an average of 44.75.
James Fuller will lead Barishal's bowling attack. He has picked up six wickets in his previous three games with a strike rate of 12. The likes of Kyle Mayers will support him. Mayers has picked up nine victims from his last ten games with a strike rate of 19.33.
The Dhaka Capitals have had a wretched time out in the middle in this year's BPL. They have so far played seven games and lost six of them. They have just two points and have a net run rate of -0.097. They are languishing right at the bottom of the points table. However, they are going into this game on the back of their only win on the league stage.
Their openers, Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan, lit up the stadium with brilliant hundreds to take the total to an imposing one. Later, they bundled out the Durbar Rajshahi for a paltry score to win the game by a solid margin of 149 runs.
Tanzid Hasan has scored 246 runs in his last seven games with an average of 35.14 and a strike rate of 138.2. Litton Das has also scored 240 runs from his previous six games with an average of 48 and a strike rate of 164.38.
Mustafizur Rahman will lead the Dhaka bowling attack. He has picked up seven victims from his last seven contests with a strike rate 22.85. Alauddin Babu has also picked up six wickets from his previous four games with a strike rate of 13. These will be the key players for Dhaka Capitals in this contest.
Over the years, as many as 83 domestic T20 games have been conducted at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. The teams batting first have won 43 of these games, while the teams chasing a target have won 40. These figures might push the skipper winning the coin flip to opt to bat first rather than following the usual trend of batting second.
The track on offer at the Chattogram venue will favor the batters. Generally, this track is considered to be a better one than what we get on the Mirpur surface. Therefore, big scores are anticipated on this track. But the spinners might come into the picture in the second innings. We are expecting warm and sunny weather conditions during this contest.
There is no possibility of showers, and the temperature during the game will be close to 24 degrees.
Dhaka Capitals won their last game in the competition convincingly. However, does this remove all the problems in their earlier performances? We don't think so. They lost six games in a row before thumping Darbar Rajshahi in their last contest. Fortune Barishal has done a more consistent job so far, winning three out of five games. It has a better team overall and should win.
Bet on Fortune Barishal to win.
