DHAM vs BARD Match Prediction & Analysis
Barishal Division will look to end their losing run as they face an inconsistent but back-in-form Dhaka Metropolis in the 23rd match of the National Cricket League T20 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
Metropolis secured their second win after two consecutive defeats and were all set to face the table toppers, Dhaka Divisio,n in their last game, but it was washed out without a ball being bowled.
Mohammad Naim will be expecting his middle-order players like Shadman Islam and Aich Mollah to carry their momentum into this game.
The bottom-placed Barishal Division are struggling with the bat. They have scored 137, 128, and 106 runs in their last 3 outings while batting first. Iftikhar Hossain Ifti and Fazle Mahmud have poor strike rates for a top-order batsman and will need to find their way back with a more promising knock.
The weather forecast for this match doesn’t look good, with scattered thunderstorms expected around the match time. The probability of rain isn’t very high, and we could still expect the showers to pass and have a game with revised conditions.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Dhaka Metropolis Preview
Dhaka Metropolis have been struggling with inconsistencies in their batting performances. They have a good chance of reaching the playoffs if they manage to win their remaining games. With 9 points, they will be comfortably in the top 4 and battle it out in the Eliminator.
However, without any reliable performers at key positions in the batting order, 2 wins from 2 matches seems to be a rather difficult ask. Skipper Mohammad Naim must lead from the front and, along with Mahfijul Islam, build a strong opening partnership to get Metropolis in the game.
Though Shadman Islam and Aich Mollah played brilliant knocks in the last game that propelled Dhaka Metropolis to a competitive total, losing early wickets in the powerplay would put extra pressure on these two batters.
They also have Abu Hider at number 5, who is a promising all-rounder and can score quick runs in the latter half of the innings. The more time the experienced Naim spends on the crease, the better chance the team has to finish with a big score on the board.
Abu Hider will also be crucial with the ball. Shohidul Islam and Rakibul Hasan are other key wicket-takers in the bowling attack for Dhaka Metropolis.
There are many all-rounders in this side, and that gives the skipper many bowling options to choose from, such as Anisul Islam Emon and Aminul Islam. The 19-year-old Maruf Mridha is a left-arm pacer to watch out for in this bowling attack.
Dhaka Metropolis Predicted Playing XI:
Mahfijul Islam, Mohammad Naim (c), Shadman Islam, Aich Mollah, Abu Hider, Aminul Islam, Shohidul Islam, Rakibul Hasan, Shamsur Rahman (wk), Maruf Mridha, Anisul Islam Emon

Barisal Division Preview
Barishal Division have lost 4 of their 5 matches, while the other yielded no result. Almost all of the batting responsibilities rest with the top 4 batsmen in this lineup.
Fazle Mahmud and skipper Salman Hossain Emon are the key players at 3 and 4 in the batting order.
While Mahmud has scored at a strike rate of less than a run-a-ball in his last two outings and a 27 off 25 balls knock before that, the skipper had a double-digit score only once in the last 3 innings.
It is not just these two batters whose strike rates are a major concern for the Barishal Division. The openers Azir Ahmed and Iftakhar Hossain Ifti have also struggled to score as quickly as expected of them.
Ifti, in particular, has been very disappointing in his approach to the game. Barishal need a strong start in the power play to get themselves on top of the game.
There is no reliable batsman in the lower middle order, and that is probably why the top 4 batters seem to be taking a more cautious approach. The bowling attack looks very good on paper, with some promising names like Tanvir Islam, Mehedi Hasan, and Moinul Islam.
Moinul Islam has been very economical in his spells and will be one to watch out for in this game. The slow left-arm orthodox bowler has the support of an experienced right-arm offbreak, Sohag Gazi.
Barisal Division Predicted Playing XI:
Azmir Ahmed, Iftakhar Hossain Ifti, Fazle Mahmud, Salman Hossain Emon (c), Shek Antor, Sohag Gazi, Zahiduzzaman (wk), Mehedi Hasan, Moinul Islam, Ruyel Miah, Jehadul Hoque Jehad

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The news isn’t very positive as far as the weather is concerned for the match day. There will be light rain early in the day, followed by scattered thunderstorms in Sylhet around the match time and throughout the afternoon. The weather conditions may affect the outcome of this match, and we could get a game with revised conditions.

High Turn
The Sylhet International Cricket Stadium offers a balanced pitch. There have been some brilliant batting and bowling performances in recent games, but we reckon it is the bowlers who will hold the upper hand in the contest. Moreover, since both teams have a struggling batting order, the bowlers are more likely to dominate this game. The average first innings score in the last 8 games of this tournament is 156 runs. To be in a winning position, the team batting first should aim for something around 170-175 runs. Considering the current form of both teams, a 170+ total is highly unlikely, and we reckon, even a 160-run total will be a winning score in this match.
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first have won 4 of the 8 matches played at this venue in the National Cricket League T20 this year. There is no clear edge whether a team bats or bowls first on this ground, as there have been instances where a 186-run target was chased and also a 150-run total defended successfully.

Winning Prediction
If the rain doesn’t persist throughout the day and we eventually get a game, albeit with revised conditions such as reduced overs from both innings, Dhaka Metropolis will start with an edge in this contest. They have a much stronger overall squad with more reliable players in the batting lineup in comparison. Barishal Division will rely on their bowlers to bring them into the game. Dhaka Metropolis will start as the favourites in our match prediction.
