Dhaka Capital will face Sylhet Strikers in their 16th match during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025. This match is scheduled to take place on Friday, January 10, at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

Dhaka Capitals will face Sylhet Strikers in the 16th match of Bangladesh Premier League. This match will be played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Dhaka Capitals are sixth on the points table with five wins and one loss in five matches. Sylhet Strikers, on the other hand, are bottom of the table with three losses in three matches. Both teams have had a poor start to the season and will be looking for their first win.

Sylhet Strikers lost their last match against Fortune Barishal by seven wickets. They were bowled out for just 125 while batting first and in return Fortune Barishal chased down the target with almost 10 overs remaining and seven wickets in reserve. Sylhet have struggled a lot with both bat and ball in this edition so far and will be keen to put up a better performance.

Dhaka Capitals also lost their last match against Chittagong by seven wickets. They scored 177/5 when batting first and that seemed a good score on this surface but the bowlers were inconsistent and could not make early breakthroughs as the Chittagong batters chased the target by seven wickets in the last over. This promises to be an exciting game between these two sides.
