Sylhet Titans vs Dhaka Capitals Match Prediction
Dhaka Capitals are our VALUE pick at 45% confidence. The bookmakers have Sylhet at 1.39 (71.9% implied), but our model gives them only 55%. Dhaka at 2.70 offers +8% edge—a classic underdog value bet. We expect Sylhet to win more often than not, but the odds are wrong.
Match Context
Both teams enter this clash at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium with 2 points each. Sylhet (1W-1L) scraped past Noakhali by 1 wicket last ball but lost to Rajshahi by 8 wickets. Dhaka (1W-0L) impressed with a clinical 5-wicket win over Rajshahi—the same team that beat Sylhet. This is a daytime match (13:00 BST)—no dew factor.
Team News
Sylhet Titans: Captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz leads a squad with strong internationals—Mohammad Amir (Pakistan pacer), Moeen Ali (England), Saim Ayub (Pakistan opener), and Aaron Jones (USA). Parvez Hossain Emon is in red-hot form with 125 runs at SR 168.
Dhaka Capitals: Captain Mohammad Mithun (wicketkeeper) leads. Imad Wasim was Player of the Match vs Rajshahi with 3/16. Alex Hales is in the squad but did not play Match 1—if selected, he transforms DC batting. The team is playing with heavy hearts after assistant coach Mahbub Ali Zaki died just before their first match.
Why Dhaka Are Undervalued (+8% Edge)
- Clinical performance vs Rajshahi: DC restricted Rajshahi to 132/8 and chased it comfortably. Rajshahi beat Sylhet by 8 wickets—DC handled them better.
- Imad Wasim form: 3/16 in Match 1. His left-arm spin will trouble Sylhet right-handed batters.
- Sylhet fragility: They won by 1 wicket last ball against winless Noakhali (144/9 chasing 143). That is not the performance of a 72% favourite.
- Alex Hales factor: If selected, he adds explosive power at the top.
Why Sylhet Are Still Favourites (55%)
- Home advantage: Playing in Sylhet with crowd support.
- Stronger international depth: Amir, Moeen, Saim Ayub outrank DC overseas options.
- Parvez Hossain form: 125 runs at SR 168—in-form domestic players often outperform.
