Durbar Rajshahi vs Sylhet Strikers Chance of Winning

Durbar Rajshahi and Sylhet Strikers will be facing each other for the first time in Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025 on Friday. Both the teams have lost four of their first six matches. Durbar Rajshahi lost by 149 runs in their last match against Dhaka Capitals. They were bundled out for 105 while chasing 255. On the other hand, Sylhet Strikers lost to Chittagong Kings by 30 runs in their last encounter.

Sylhet have a better chance of winning against Durbar as they have shown improvement in their last three outings. The Ariful Haque-led side has got a strong overseas contingent, and the batting unit has mostly posted good totals on the scoreboard. The same hasn't been the case with Durbar Rajshahi, who were bowled out for 105 in their last outing. They were bowled out for 114 against Chittagong Kings. After six matches, Taskin Ahmed has been the only bowler from the team who has picked more than three wickets. The same is a serious matter of concern against a very competitive batting group of Sylhet. Their bowling group consisting of Reece Topley and Tanzim Hasan Sakib will also pose a serious threat for the inconsistent batters of Durbar Rajshahi.

Our Prediction

Sylhet Strikers are more likely to beat Durbar Rajshahi in the upcoming 23rd match of BBL 2025. Sylhet are laden with T20 stars like Paul Stirling, George Munsey, Aaron Jones, Jaker Ali, Reece Topley, and Tanzim Hasan Sakib. The side lost their first three matches, but have got their mojo back by winning two of their last three games. Durbar Rajshahi will enter the match on the back of a massive 149-run defeat. They also suffered big losses against Fortune Barishal (7 wickets), and Chittagong Kings (105 runs). The poor form of opener Mohammad Haris, and lack of experienced players with T20 flair has also hurt the sixth-ranked side in the seven-team competition.

Dhaka won the toss and opted to bat first, but could score only 139 runs in 19.3 overs.

Teams winning the toss have opted to bowl first 54 percent of the time in the last five years. Teams bowling first have won 38.99 percent of the matches. However, the outcome of the last match here, can invite the team winning the toss to bat first in the day game.

Sylhet Strikers are ranked fifth in the BPL 2025 points table. They lost their last match against Chittagong by 30 runs, but have won two of their last three matches. Like Durbar, Sylhet have also lost four of their last six matches.

Durbar Rajshahi vs Sylhet Strikers Head-to-Head Record

Durbar Rajshahi vs Sylhet Strikers Odds

Sylhet Strikers opening partnership to be over 19.5

Sylhet Strikers opening pair of Rony Talukdar and Paul Stirling could score only one run together in their last match against Chittagong Kings. In the second-last match Rahkeem Cornwall came to open with Rony, but the partnership lasted for seven runs only. Rony scored 56 runs in the match. Cornwall and George Munsey opened in the third-last match which saw the former get out on the first ball of the innings. Rony was dismissed on the third ball of the innings without any runs on the board in the fourth-last match. It's quite clear that the Sylhet strikers have failed time and again but would be hoping for a resurgence against the lacklustre bowling attack of Durbar Rajshahi. Taskin Ahmed is their only bowler who has picked more than three wickets in the tournament, and therefore Durbar Rajshahi openers would fancy their chance to score over 19 runs together.
