Chattogram Royals vs Rajshahi Warriors Preview:

Chattogram Royals( CHR ) is set to face Rajshahi Warriors( RJW ) in their Final match during the Bangladesh Premier League 2025-26. This match is scheduled to take place at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on Friday, January 23.

Chattogram Royals head into this clash after a comfortable six-wicket victory over Rajshahi Warriors in Qualifier 1 at Mirpur. After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, the Royals produced a disciplined bowling performance that kept Rajshahi in check throughout the innings.

Rajshahi could only manage 133 runs, with Mahedi Hasan leading the charge by picking up 2 for 20. He was well supported by Shoriful Islam and Aamer Jamal, who struck at important moments to maintain the pressure. During the chase, the Royals got off to a steady start, with Mirza Baig playing the anchor role and scoring a composed 45 off 47 balls.

Mohammad Naim chipped in with useful support, and although a couple of quick wickets fell in the middle overs, the Royals never looked rattled. Captain Mahedi Hasan then put the finishing touches on the chase, smashing an unbeaten 19 off just 9 deliveries to wrap up the win with three balls to spare.

Rajshahi Warriors, however, showed great character to bounce back after that defeat. In Qualifier 2 against the Sylhet Titans, again at Mirpur, they produced a strong all-round performance to secure a 12-run win. Batting first, Rajshahi posted a competitive total of 165 for 9, built around a composed 45 from Kane Williamson and a blistering 44 off 26 balls from James Neesham at the death.

Sylhet’s chase got off to a shaky start as they lost early wickets, which immediately put them under pressure. Parvez Hossain Emon and Sam Billings attempted to rebuild the innings, but Rajshahi’s bowlers kept striking at regular intervals to stay in control.

The decisive moment came through an outstanding spell from Binura Fernando, who claimed 4 for 19 and removed key batters at crucial stages. Sylhet eventually finished on 153 for 8, falling short as Rajshahi completed a confident comeback victory.

CHR vs RJW Possible Playing XI:

Chattogram Royals: Mirza Baig, Mohammad Naim, Hasan Nawaz, Asif Ali, Mahedi Hasan (c), Aamer Jamal, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Tanvir Islam, Shoriful Islam, Mukidul Islam, Zahiduzzaman (wk).

CHR vs RJW Pitch Report:

The Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka generally offers a batting-friendly surface with true bounce, making it ideal for stroke play and building partnerships. Fast bowlers can get some early movement with the new ball, but the effect usually fades quickly as the innings progresses. The pitch tends to flatten out in the middle overs, allowing batters to maintain a steady scoring rate, while spinners can become effective later as the surface slows slightly and offers some grip. Competitive T20 totals at this venue usually range between 160 and 180 runs, with moderately sized boundaries rewarding well-timed hitting. In evening games, dew can assist batters, often giving chasing sides a slight advantage. Overall, the pitch provides a fair contest, with teams that have strong batting depth and a disciplined spin attack generally holding the edge.

CHR vs RJW Weather Report:

On the evening of January 23, conditions at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka are expected to be calm and favorable for cricket. Around 7:30 PM local time, temperatures should sit between 19–21°C, offering cool and comfortable playing conditions under lights. Skies are likely to be clear to partly cloudy, with no significant threat of rain, which is typical for Dhaka during this time of year. Humidity will be moderate, and a light breeze may move across the ground but shouldn’t affect play. Overall, it shapes up to be a pleasant winter evening, ideal for an uninterrupted night match.

Expected Scores:

1st Innings: 160–170 runs

2nd Innings: 150–165 runs

Key Notes:

Batting-friendly surface: Shere Bangla National Stadium generally offers good value for shots, especially in night games, allowing well-set batters to score freely.

Dew factor in the second innings: As the night progresses, dew often comes into play, making the ball skid on and slightly easing conditions for the chasing side.

Powerplay sets the tone: Teams scoring 45–55 runs in the first six overs usually gain momentum and push the total beyond 160.

Spinners in middle overs: The pitch can grip a bit during overs 7–15, so quality spin and smart variations can slow the run rate.

Death overs are decisive: Effective bowling in the final five overs can save 10–15 runs, which is crucial in a high-pressure final.

170+ is a strong total: Anything above 170 will put serious pressure on the chasing team, while scores below 150 could be tough to defend unless the bowling attack is exceptional.
