The second-placed Chattogram Royals will take on the bottom-placed Naokhali Express at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. This will be the first game of the Dhaka leg of the Bangladesh Premier League 2025-26.
Both teams are in good form, winning two consecutive matches. Naokhali were winless in the season with 6 losses in a row before their recent wins. Their bowling attack is great touch as they successfully defended 184 and 148 runs in their last two outings.
However, Chattogram Royals will pose a tough challenge to Naokhali. The likes of Shoriful Islam, Tanvir Islam, and skipper Mehidy Hasan make for a formidable bowling attack. They also have Aamer Jamal, who’s been very consistent lately.
Naokhali Express have the experienced Mohammad Nabi, who’s in fine rhythm with the ball, and will be one to watch out for. Hasan Mahmud and Mehedi Hasan Rana are the in-form wicket-takers in this bowling attack.
Both teams pack a strong bowling attack with consistent performers and promise a close encounter in Dhaka. However, since this will be the first game at this venue this year, we expect the wicket to offer more help to the batters.

Chattogram Royals struggled to chase down a small total in their last game. They lost 8 wickets on their way to 129 runs. The strong opening duo of Mohammad Naim and Adam Rossington will be expected to come good in this match.
These two can lead the comeback for the Royals. Rossington scored 49 and 58 in his previous two outings before he was out cheaply in the last match. He will be one to watch out for.
Naim has struggled to convert his starts into something significant and will be eager to find his form towards the business end of the season. The Royals feature some quality batting in the middle order with the likes of Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Hasan Nawaz at 3 and 4.
With skipper Mahedi Hasan and the experienced Asif Ali coming lower down the order, Chattogram Royals have great depth in the batting order. There are many batting options in the side, and Hasan will expect the Royals to post a big total in this match.
Ali and Hasan can play the finisher’s role for Chattogram, delivering quick runs at the death. In the bowling attack, Shoriful Islam, Tanvir Islam, and Aamer Jamal will be the key wicket-takers to watch out for. Jamal has been consistently delivering top-order wickets.
Skipper Mahedi Hasan is also handy with the ball and can deliver economical spells while finding a crucial breakthrough when the team needs it.
Adam Rossington Total Runs Over 19.5 1.75
Adam Rossington has scores of 17, 49, 58, 73 and 60 in the last five BPL matches. So far this tournament he has scored 258 runs in 6 matches, averaging 64.5 and has three fifty plus scores. Given his current run of form , we back Rossington to score over 19 runs in today's match.

The bottom-placed Naokhali Express have looked impressive in recent outings. They could play spoilsport for the Royals in this match. Naokhali have a strong bowling attack with in-form players.
If the bowlers continue their form, Naokhali could create trouble for Chattogram Royals. Hasan Mahmud and Mehedi Hasan Rana are the key wicket-takers in this bowling attack. The two are among the most consistent performers in this squad.
Along with the experienced Mohammd Nabi, these bowlers will pose a tough challenge to the hosts. Opening batsman Hassan Eisakhil scored a brilliant 92-run knock in the last match to lead Naokhali to 184 runs, which turned out to be a winning score.
Soumya Sarkar has also been in fine touch as the opener and will be one to watch out for in this game. Habibur Rahman Sohan and Mohammad Nabi are the key players in the middle order. Sohan has played some fine knocks in recent matches.
There have been a lot of changes to the batting order, but these players have remained part of the XI constantly. Skipper Haider Ali and Jaker Ali are the key performers in the lower order and need to step up and play the finisher’s role for Naokhali Express.
There is plenty of firepower in this batting lineup, but they have lacked consistent batsmen who could lead them to a competitive total. Batting will be a major issue for Naokhali Express going into this match.
Saumya Sarkar Total Runs Over 16.5 1.75
Soumya Sarkar has recorded scores of 48, 31, and 59 in his last three matches. So far this season, he has scored 145 runs in five matches, averaging 29. At Mirpur, he has accumulated 1,638 runs in 90 matches at an average of 21. Considering his recent run of form, we back Sarkar to play another impactful knock and score over 16 runs against the Chattogram Royals.

It will be mostly sunny in Dhaka around the match time with a high of 22 degrees Celsius. There are no signs of rain or thunderstorms on the match day, and hence, there should be no weather interruptions in this match. The sunny weather, on the other hand, should help the batters in the first innings while creating conducive conditions for the spinner in the second.

It is a balanced wicket at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Both batters and bowlers have dominated on this wicket in the last few matches. The average first innings score in the last 10 games played at this venue is 154 runs. However, considering that this will be the first match at this venue in BPL 2025-26, we expect a high-scoring encounter between the two sides, with a potential first innings score of 185+ runs.
Chattogram Royals to win the coin toss 1.90
We back the Chattogram Royals to win the coin toss in today's match against the Noakhali Express.
There is no clear advantage to either batting or bowling first on this ground. Teams bowling first at this venue have won 6 of the last 10 T20 matches. Considering the bowling form and strengths of both teams, we reckon that both skippers will prefer to chase down a total in this match.
Chattogram Royals will have the upperhand going into this match. Though they will be faced with a tough bowling challenge, the lack of consistency in Naokhali’s batting lineup puts the Royals ahead in this contest. The visitors will rely on their bowlers to put them on top. While the venue will offer great conditions for Naokhali Express’ batters to score big, the Royals, with their current bowling form, are likely to trouble them. Chattogram Royals will start as favourites in our match prediction.
