Dhaka Capitals’ Nasir Hossain in action during their BPL match against Noakhali Express at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet on January 7, 2026. \u2014 BCB<\/p>\n
SYLHET: Experienced all-rounder Nasir Hossain’s unbeaten 90-run knock powered Dhaka Capitals to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over rock-bottom Noakhali Express in the 15th match of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025-26 here at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Put into bat first, the Express registered a modest total of 133\/6 in their allotted 20 overs despite a brisk 90-run partnership between captain Haider Ali and veteran all-rounder Mohammad Nabi.<\/p>\n
The bottom-placed side got off to a dismal start to their innings as they had been reduced to 40\/5 in 9.3 overs despite Maaz Sadaqat’s gutsy 24 off 19 deliveries.<\/p>\n
Following the slump, Haider and Nabi joined forces and put together a 90-run partnership, which culminated on the third delivery of the final over with former’s dismissal, who remained the top-scorer with a 36-ball 47, laced with three fours and a six.<\/p>\n
Nabi, on the other hand, returned unbeaten after scoring a 33-ball 42, featuring two sixes and as many fours.<\/p>\n
For the Capitals, Imad Wasim, Taskin Ahmed, Mohammad Saifuddin, Ziaur Rahman, Abdullah Al Mamun and Nasir picked up one wicket apiece.<\/p>\n
Set to chase a modest 134-run target, the Capitals comfortably struck the winning runs for the loss of just three wickets 35 balls to spare, courtesy of Nasir’s monumental knock.<\/p>\n
The Capitals, however, had a contrasting start to the pursuit as Hasan Mahmud dismissed both their openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz (zero) and Al Mamun (one) inside three overs with just 14 runs on the board.<\/p>\n
Following the early setbacks, Nasir walked out to bat at No.3 and turned the game on its head with belligerent hitting. <\/p>\n
The experienced all-rounder knitted a one-sided 59-run partnership for the third wicket with Irfaan Shukkur, who could contribute 12 off 11 deliveries, before putting together a match-winning 61-run stand with Imad Wasim, who made an unbeaten 29 off 16 deliveries, laced with two fours and a six.<\/p>\n
Nasir top-scored with an unbeaten 90 off 50 deliveries, studded with 14 fours and two sixes and thus bagged the Player of the Match award.<\/p>\n
For the Express, Mahmud bagged two wickets, while Zahir Khan could take one.<\/p>\n
Notably, despite the seven-wicket victory, Dhaka Capitals remained fifth in the BPL 2025-26 standings with four points in five matches, while Noakhali Express remained at the bottom as they are yet to taste a triumph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dhaka Capitals’ Nasir Hossain in action during their BPL match against Noakhali Express at the Sylhet International Cricket…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":357529,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[137397,1721,107603,137398,137399,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-357528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-bpl","tag-cricket","tag-dhaka-capitals","tag-nasir-hossain","tag-noakhali-express","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
