Dhaka Capitals are all set to face the Sylhet Strikers for a thrilling clash in the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. The match is scheduled for January 20 and is set to commence at 1:00 PM IST.

Dhaka Capitals 

Dhaka Capitals have endured a challenging season, managing just one win from eight matches and sitting at the bottom of the points table with two points. Their inconsistent performances with both bat and ball have contributed to their struggles. Though they feature a balanced lineup, the Capitals will need a collective effort to overcome their slump. With their playoff hopes dashed and defeat against the Strikers in a previous match, the Capitals will aim to avenge their shortcomings in the upcoming clash.

Sylhet Strikers 

Sylhet Strikers find themselves in a similar predicament with just two wins in seven games, placing them second from the bottom. It is to be noted that inconsistency in their batting lineup has cost them crucial matches. With players like Rony Talukdar, Aaron Jones and Jaker Ali leading the charge, the Strikers will look to bounce back strongly against Dhaka Capitals.

DC vs SYL: Head-to-Head Records

How Will the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium Pitch Behave?

The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram is set to pose an intriguing challenge for players as the match unfolds. Early on, fast bowlers are likely to benefit from the new ball, capitalizing on any movement that the pitch offers. However, as the innings progress, spinners are expected to take centre stage, exploiting the substantial turn and bounce available. 

Batters could face a tough time at the crease, especially as the playing surface is projected to become increasingly difficult. In light of these conditions, it is anticipated that the team winning the toss will opt to bat first.

Players To Watch Out For In DC vs SYL Match 27

Dhaka Capitals

Tanzid Hasan: Tanzid Hasan has been in scintillating form in this season of BPL. Scoring massive knocks of 108, 62, 54 in his recent outings, the 24-year-old batter has managed a strike rate of 138.74. With his explosive intentions, he might set the field on fire again in the upcoming clash against the Strikers.

Farmanullah Safi: A promising young talent with explosive batting capabilities, Farmanullah Safi has the potential to be a game-changer in the match. He also possesses bowling skills which helped him bag 5 wickets this season with the best figure of 2-26 against Durbar Rajshahi.

Mustafizur Rahman: Mustafizur Rahman's variations and ability to swing the ball both ways make him a potent threat for the upcoming match. His experience in exploiting the conditions as seen in this season has earned him 7 wickets as he bowled economically at 7.60 to restrict the flow of runs.

Sylhet Strikers

Zakir Hasan: A talented young batter with a strong domestic record, Zakir Hasan possesses the ability to score runs consistently. His temperament has been clear as he bats at a strike rate of 147.96 in BPL 2024-25 and has figures of 75, 58 and 50 in some of his matches, proving his ability to be lethal in the upcoming clash.

Rony Talukdar: A powerful hitter with the ability to clear the ropes consistently, Rony Talukdar has not been consistent this season but has shown promise with his cameos of 41, 54, 30 and 56. Hence, he will be a favourite to watch out for with the bat on Zahur Stadium's pitch. 

Reece Topley: Reece Topley's ability to generate swing and seam movement makes him a potent threat for the upcoming clash. His left-arm deliveries can be difficult to score off, and he will be hungry to prove his worth as he only bagged 4 wickets in his 6 matches in this BPL season so far.
