On the opening day of the BPL, the second match will feature Rangpur Riders facing off against Dhaka Capitals, the team owned by Dhaka's film star Shakib Khan. Shakib will be present at the stadium, joined by fellow actor Mamun Hasan Imon.

Shakib Khan's company, Remark Harlen, has acquired ownership of the Dhaka franchise for this season, and the team management has formed a strong squad. They have appointed Khaled Mahmud Sujan, one of the country's most successful cricket coaches, as the head coach. Dhaka Capitals have made a notable debut in this year's BPL, impressing fans with their squad-building efforts and theme song. Shakib Khan has been involved in every aspect, from the team composition to the creation of the theme song, which was written by Russell Mahmud, composed by Pritom Hasan, and directed by Rakib Ahmed. The video also features choreography by Billal-Rohan. The song showcases performances by various celebrities, including Mamun Hasan Imon, Siam Ahmed, Sporshia, Puja Cherry, Dighi, and Bidya Sinha Mim. Over a crore has been spent on producing the theme song.
