Dhaka Capitals began their Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) campaign on a poignant yet victorious note, displaying remarkable mental strength to defeat Rajshahi Warriors by five wickets at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Friday. Asked to bat first, Rajshahi Warriors struggled to replicate the form that had seen them dominate their opening fixture against Sylhet. Although Mohammad Nawaz contributed a brief resistance with 26 runs down the order, Rajshahi never managed to regain control. In reply, Dhaka Capitals approached the chase with caution. The win marked a strong and emotionally charged start for Dhaka Capitals, reflecting both their on-field quality and collective resilience in the face of tragedy.
