The surface at Sheikh Kamal International Cricket Stadium Academy Ground, Cox's Bazar, generally offers good conditions for batting. However, the surface gets slower later in the game. In the previous game at NCL, Chattogram scored 576, while Barishal made 282 and 293 in their two innings. Batting on the fourth day would be really tough with cracks opening. 

Score prediction: 

If Mymensingh Division bat first - 300-320 runs 

If Dhaka Division bat first - 240-250 runs 

Toss: To Bat

In the last five Men’s First-Class matches at this venue, chasing teams have won just once, suggesting that batting fourth can be challenging. As the match progresses into the final day, the surface is likely to help spin more. It offers good assistance to the frontline spinners. Both teams have previously enjoyed success while batting first and may prefer to set a strong total in this fixture.

Toss Prediction: Dhaka Division to win the coin toss.
