Khulna Division will once again be playing away from home as they travel to Sylhet to face Barishal Division. With two wins, one loss, and one no-result in four games, Khulna are currently 3rd on the points table with 5 points and a Net Run Rate of –0.131. They enter this match with growing confidence, having secured back-to-back wins in their last two outings.
Their campaign began with a match abandoned without a ball bowled, followed by a heavy defeat against Rajshahi Division. However, they bounced back with a 22-run win over Dhaka Metro and a nail-biting 3-run victory against Rangpur Division, showing their ability to win tight contests.
Khulna’s strength lies in their all-round depth, led by Soumya Sarkar, who has scored 108 runs in 2 innings at a strike rate of 161.19 and an average of 54.00. Afif Hossain has also chipped in with 88 runs at 44.00, making him a dependable anchor in the middle order. In the bowling department, Robiul Haque leads the tournament with 6 wickets in 3 matches at an average of 13.33 and best figures of 3/32. He has been well-supported by Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, who has picked up 4 wickets at an average of 20.25, often making inroads at crucial junctures.
Khulna also have the psychological edge, having won all three of their previous head-to-head encounters against Barishal. With form, confidence, and momentum on their side, Khulna Division look poised to continue their dominance in this fixture.

Barishal Division will also be playing away from home as they take on Khulna Division at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. After four matches in the National Cricket League T20 2025–26, Barishal find themselves in a difficult position—bottom of the points table (8th) with 1 point, having suffered three consecutive defeats and one abandoned game. Their Net Run Rate of –1.502 reflects the challenges they’ve faced with both bat and ball.
Their campaign started with a no-result against Dhaka Division, followed by a string of defeats: a narrow 2-wicket loss to Sylhet, a 6-wicket loss to Rangpur, and an 8-wicket defeat to Chattogram. Despite showing fight in patches, Barishal have struggled to close games and contain runs at key moments.
On the brighter side, Fazle Mahmud has emerged as their batting mainstay, scoring 113 runs in 3 innings at an average of 37.66 and a strike rate of 115.30, including one half-century. With the ball, Tanvir Islam leads their attack with 5 wickets in 3 matches at an average of 16.00 and best figures of 3/27, while Mehedi Hasan has supported well with 4 wickets at 12.00, showing control in the middle overs. Facing an in-form Khulna side, Barishal will need their key players to step up collectively to register their first win of the season.

The venue of the match is Sylhet International Cricket Stadium (Academy Ground), Sylhet. Established in 2007, it is one of Bangladesh’s newer international-standard cricket facilities with a seating capacity of approximately 18,500 spectators. Known for its scenic setting and sporting pitches, the ground often supports good stroke play early on, with bowlers coming into play as the surface wears. It has hosted several domestic and international fixtures, especially T20s, and is a favored venue for day-night matches.
At the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium (Academy Ground), teams batting first have historically enjoyed better success in T20 matches. The pitch tends to offer true bounce and gradually slows down, making run-chases tricky under lights. Given these conditions, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt for batting first and look to post a competitive total.
Khulna Division have the edge going into this contest. With 5 points from 4 games and back-to-back wins under their belt, they carry strong form and a psychological advantage from their 3-0 head-to-head record over Barishal. Barishal, yet to win a game, have struggled in both departments. Conditions may aid Khulna’s balanced attack and experienced top order.
We predict that Khulna Division will defeat Barishal Division.
