Coach: Toby Radford brings South African coaching expertise to the squad.
Key players performing well this tournament:
- Alex Hales – English opener bringing power hitting
- Taskin Ahmed – Bangladesh pace spearhead
- Dasun Shanaka – Sri Lankan all-rounder (most expensive overseas buy at $55,000)
Right now, Dhaka is 5th in the table with 4 points from 5 matches. They need to improve their batting consistency to make the playoffs. Recent matches showed good bowling but struggles in the middle overs with the bat.
Rangpur Riders: Team Profile & Standings
Captain: Nurul Hasan Sohan combines wicket-keeping with smart leadership.
Coach: Mickey Arthur, the experienced Australian, guides team strategy.
Recent performance has been excellent – they’re 2nd with 8 points from 5 matches. Key performers:
- Mustafizur Rahman – The Fizz is bowling superbly
- Litton Das – Consistent run scorer at the top
- Towhid Hridoy – Young talent shining in the middle order
Rangpur has won 4 out of 5 matches so far. Their bowling attack led by Mustafizur is among the best in the tournament. If they keep this form, playoff qualification looks certain.
Chattogram Royals: Squad Analysis & Current Position
Captain: Mahedi Hasan leads from the front with both bat and ball. The team made the biggest splash in the auction by buying Mohammad Naim for 1.1 crore – the most expensive local player.
Current form is excellent – they’re leading the points table with 8 points from 6 matches.
Squad strengths:
- Mohammad Naim – Explosive opener justifying his price tag
- Shoriful Islam – Left-arm pacer taking wickets regularly
- Angelo Perera – Sri Lankan batsman adding stability
Chattogram plays smart cricket. Their home advantage in the Chattogram phase helped them build a strong foundation. Coach Justin Kemp’s planning is showing results.
Sylhet Titans: Home Advantage & Performance
Captain: Mehidy Hasan Miraz brings all-round skills and calm leadership. Playing at their home ground – Sylhet International Cricket Stadium – gives them extra confidence.
Current tournament position: 3rd with 6 points from 5 matches, right in the playoff zone.
Key contributors:
- Nasum Ahmed – Left-arm spinner troubling batsmen
- Saim Ayub – Pakistani opener with big-hitting ability
- Angelo Mathews – Experienced Sri Lankan providing balance
Sylhet used their home advantage well in the first phase. Now they need to maintain this form in Chattogram and Dhaka. Their spin bowling is their biggest strength.
Rajshahi Warriors: Current Campaign Analysis
Captain: Najmul Hossain Shanto leads with batting flair and tactical awareness.
Coach: Hannan Sarkar brings local knowledge and understanding.
Tournament performance so far: 4th position with 6 points from 6 matches. They’re fighting hard for a playoff spot.
Team balance:
- Tanzid Hasan – Aggressive opener setting the tone
- Mohammad Nawaz – Pakistani all-rounder providing options
- Mushfiqur Rahim – Veteran wicket-keeper adding experience
Rajshahi has good balance but needs more consistency. Their batting depth is impressive, though bowling needs improvement in the death overs.
Noakhali Express: New Team Performance
This is Noakhali Express’s first season in BPL. As a new franchise, they’re learning fast but currently struggling at 6th position with 2 points from 5 matches.
Team setup:
- Captain: Shykat Ali leading the new franchise
- Coach: Khaled Mahmud working with limited resources
- Key signings: Soumya Sarkar, Johnson Charles, Mohammad Nabi
Being new is challenging, but they have some experienced players. Johnson Charles from West Indies and Mohammad Nabi from Afghanistan bring international experience. They need to win most remaining matches to have any playoff chance.
