Dhaka Metropolis have had a poor run so far, winning only one game while losing two, which has left them in seventh place. They really need a couple of wins to get back on track now.
Skipper Mohammad Naim has been their standout performer with the bat, gathering 86 runs across three innings at a strike rate of 134. He has provided the spark up front and looked in command more often than not. Mahfijul Islam follows his closely with 77 runs in three matches at 175.
Mahmudulah and Abu Hider have each added over 40 runs, giving the side strong middle-order options. The others, however, have disappointed, and the likes of Shadman Islam and Anisul Islam Emon will be expected to contribute in this game.
Arif Ahmed has been their main man with the ball, finishing with three wickets in three outings while keeping his economy at 8.12. Abu Hider has also picked up three but has gone close to 11, which has caused headaches to the team. The others have struggled to make much of an impact, something that could prove costly against Sylhet’s batting depth.

Sylhet Division have made a balanced start to their campaign, winning once and losing once to sit fourth on the standings.
Amite Hasan has been their best batsman, smashing 91 runs from two matches while striking at 117. Asadulla Al Galib has impressed as well, scoring 76 runs across two games at 115.15.
The middle order has reliable contributors in Rejaur Rahman and Zakir Hasan. Each of them can add 30-plus runs consistently, giving the team valuable batting strength.
Ebadot Hossain has been their most successful bowler, claiming three scalps from two outings while going at just 6.42 per over. Rahatul Ferdous and Khaled Ahmed are wicket-taking threats who can split dangerous partnerships. The bowling unit has looked respectable so far, but might find it tough against teams with stronger batting lineups.

Sylhet International Cricket Stadium’s track is dry and slow, giving slower bowlers the upper hand for most of the game. While batters may find it easier to score early, the pitch’s turn and grip will force them to play with caution later. Fast bowlers could find some early swing, but spinners will dominate as the match progresses.
The forecast predicts hot conditions with clouds, but rain isn’t expected to disrupt play.

The top score at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in this season’s National Cricket League T20 is Chattogram Division’s 186-2 in 16.2 overs while chasing against Dhaka Metropolis. However, most matches produced totals between 150 and 170 runs. In this game, a score of about 160 to 170 will be enough to apply pressure on the chasing side.
Four of the last five games played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in this National Cricket League T20 have been won by the chasing side. This shows that batting second might be more advantageous here.
Dhaka Metropolis and Sylhet Division both haven’t had the best of starts to the National Cricket League T20 2025 and will be eager to win this game to push for some momentum in their campaign. On paper, there isn’t much separating the two sides, but we reckon Sylhet are just a tad bit better balanced and hence have a slight 51-49 edge in this contest.
Back Sylhet Division to win this encounter.
