Dhaka Division wrapped up the league phase of the National Cricket League T20 2025 in third position after recording three victories and two losses. They now face the playoffs, where consistency will matter most, and there’s little room for another stumble.
Ariful Islam has carried the batting order, producing 138 runs from five knocks at a strike rate of 127. He’s been in steady rhythm and will be eyeing another 30-plus outing to give his team a solid base.
Ashiqur Rahman Shibli has played a handy supporting role with 121 runs from five games at 139. Mosaddek Hossain and Mahidul Islam Ankon have chipped in well, both going past the 100-run mark to keep the batting unit balanced.
Their bowling lineup has performed efficiently throughout the tournament. Taibur Rahman Rabby has impressed the most, taking nine wickets from five outings at an economy of 8.47. Ripon Mondol and Mosaddek Hossain have picked up 13 wickets between them, and Mahfuzur Rahman Rabby has contributed six more to strengthen their option.

Rangpur Division have enjoyed a steady National Cricket League T20 2025 run, finishing the league stage in fourth place after winning three matches and losing three.
Their batting has been inconsistent, blowing hot and cold, which is something they must address heading into the playoffs. Skipper Akbar Ali has been the standout, collecting 119 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 135.22.
Anik Sarker Shatu and Jahid Javed have provided decent support, each crossing 80 runs for the season. Naeem Islam and Iqbal Hosen have chipped in occasionally but will need to deliver more telling knocks to lift the team’s chances.
Abu Hasim has been superb with the ball, taking nine wickets at an excellent economy rate of 3.85. Alauddin Babu has added seven more at 8.82, while Abdul Gaffar Saqlain and Nasir Hossain have chipped in effectively, combining for 10 wickets.

The pitch at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium usually slows down as the match progresses, giving spinners a firm grip on proceedings. Batters might find some rhythm early on, but as the surface starts to wear, stroke-making becomes a real challenge due to turn and uneven bounce. Seamers could find some early movement in the air, though the slower bowlers are expected to take charge once the ball loses its shine.
The weather should stay warm and slightly cloudy, but rain isn’t expected to interrupt play.

This season’s National Cricket League T20 has consistently seen team scores fall between 150 and 170 runs. Based on that pattern, anything around 160 to 170 would be enough to make life difficult for whichever side bats second in this match.
Since this is a morning game, the toss-winning captain might be tempted to bat first as the conditions will be great for batting under bright, sunny skies.
Dhaka Division and Rangpur Division have both been inconsistent in this season of the National Cricket League T20, but have to put up their best effort in the Eliminator, as another slip-up means the end of the road. Both teams have strong squads, although Dhaka appear to be a little stronger overall and will also take confidence from their earlier win against Rangpur this season.
Dhaka Division are our picks for the winners of the Eliminator.
