Match preview & overview
Chattogram Royals beat Sylhet Titans by 14 runs in Sylhet BPL clash
Chattogram Royals beat Sylhet Titans by 14 runs at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on 7 January 2026, in a Bangladesh Premier League T20 that was effectively shaped by two contrasting powerplays. Chattogram, sent in by a Sylhet side who won the toss and elected to field, built steadily throughout their innings to finish on 198/5. Sylhet never gained the foothold they needed in reply, losing 3 wickets inside the first 6 overs, and were bowled out for 184. Mahmudul Hasan Joy was named Player of the Match. It is Chattogram's second win over Sylhet in as many meetings this campaign.
The Royals' innings was built across all three phases. Their powerplay brought 60 runs for 1 wicket, the middle overs added 72 at the cost of 2, and the death overs produced 66 more for 2 wickets. That is a consistent, well-structured total. Sylhet's chase had some momentum in the middle phase, where they scored 75 for 3, but four wickets falling in the death overs for 59 runs ended any realistic prospect of a finish.
This result leaves Chattogram Royals with a 2-0 record over Sylhet in BPL head-to-head fixtures, having won the earlier encounter by 9 wickets. Their recent form reads as mixed overall. Three wins and two losses in their last five outings. But against this particular opponent they have been entirely comfortable.
