BPL 2025-26, Final: CHR vs RJW head-to-head, weather & pitch report, predicted playing XIs

The Bangladesh Premier League 2025-26 Final will be played between Chattogram Royals (CHR) and Rajshahi Warriors (RJW), which will be held at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, on Friday, January 23. The two teams have played each other three times this season, and Chattogram Royals have come up victorious in two instances, while Rajshahi Warriors have managed one. Therefore, we have a closely contested decisive match.

Chattogram Royals, under the leadership of Mahedi Hasan, have been one of the most consistent sides this season too and have topped the league table, winning six out of 10 league stage matches and securing their spot in the final with a comprehensive win over the Rajshahi Warriors in Qualifier-1. With momentum on their side, the Royals will be confident heading into the title clash.

Rajshahi Warriors, captained by Najmul Hossain Shanto, ended the league phase at the top of the table after winning eight of their 10 matches. Although they lost Qualifier 1 to Chattogram, they bounced back strongly by defeating Sylhet Titans in Qualifier 2 to secure a spot in the final. They will be eager to turn the tables and lift the trophy.

CHR vs RJW: Pitch Report

The Mirpur surface has been slow and spin-friendly in recent games. Batting has been tough, and teams have found it hard to score quickly. Spinners are expected to play a significant role again, and another low to medium-scoring match may be likely.
