Shakib Khan’s team Dhaka Capitals is the most talked about BPL this year. However, despite the discussion, the party is lagging behind in the fight on the field. Dhaka Capitals can’t get out of the circle of losses.
This team owned by Dhaliwood superstar Shakib Khan has not opened the points book so far. They have lost three out of three consecutive matches. After losing the first match to Rangpur by 40 runs, Dhaka lost to Rajshahi by 7 wickets in the second match. And today in the third match
This team from the capital lost to Khulna Tigers by 20 runs in their third match at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Friday (January 3). After losing the toss and batting first, Khulna got a challenging collection of 173 runs after losing 8 wickets at the end of the scheduled 20 overs. In response, captain Thisara Perera showed an almost impossible dream of bringing the team to victory single-handedly. The former Sri Lankan star also scored a personal century in the end. But the desired victory was not achieved. Dhaka managed to score 153 runs in response to the 173 runs scored by Khulna Tigers.
Liton Das and Tanjid Hasan opened for Dhaka today. They picked up 17 runs in the first two overs. However, this pair broke in the next over. Liton Das has continued his batting failure. After returning for zero runs in the previous match, today he returned to the dressing room with 2 runs.

After losing 4 wickets for 26 runs, Shubham Ranjan and Chaturanga de Silva tried to take the lead of the team by forming a pair. But they too could not go far.

At the end of the scheduled over, their run of 6 wickets reached 153 runs. Dhaka got a bitter taste in all three matches in the current season with a loss of 20 runs.
