Dhaka Division have had a strong National Cricket League T20 2025, sitting in first place after winning both their matches. They'll look to build on that winning momentum and consolidate their top position in the standings.
Ariful Islam has been their batting mainstay, collecting 85 runs from two innings while striking at 127. He's clearly found his rhythm and will look for another 30 or so runs in this match.
Mosaddek Hossain has offered good backing, smashing 64 runs in the only innings he has batted so far. Ashiqur Rahman Shibli and Rayan Rahman have both been among the runs as well, strengthening their batting depth considerably.
The bowling department has been effective overall. Mosaddek Hossain has been the best with four wickets in two matches at an economy of just 4.75. Mahfuzur Rahman Rabby and Taibur Rahman have taken six more wickets between them, with Nazmul Islam serving as another trusted alternative, chipping in with two additional scalps.

Rajshahi Division have opened their season with mixed results, winning once and losing twice to sit sixth on the standings. Two consecutive losses have left them searching for momentum, which they'll hope to find in this match.
Habibur Rahman has been their standout performer, amassing 102 runs from two innings while striking at 205. His 94 off 45 balls against Khulna ranked among the competition's finest knocks. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto has backed him up nicely with 86 runs from three outings, maintaining a strike rate of 141.
Sabbir Hossain and Pritom Kumar have contributed as well, though neither has delivered the match-winning innings their side desperately requires from them moving forward.
SM Meherob has led their bowling effort with three wickets at an economy of 6.75. Asaduzzaman Payel and Nihaduzzaman have shared four dismissals, but the rest of the attack hasn't provided sufficient support, leaving Rajshahi exposed.

The surface in Sylhet is slow and dry, making it ideal for spinners to control the game’s tempo. Batters will need to be selective with their shots, especially as the pitch starts to turn and grip. Pacers might get a little movement in the first hour, but the real challenge will come from the spinners.
Hot and cloudy weather is expected, but the match should go ahead without any rain delays.

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. For this match, a first-innings total of around 160 to 170 should be sufficient to put the opposition under pressure during the chase.
In the last six National Cricket League T20 matches at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, four were won by teams chasing the total. This trend suggests that the side batting second could hold a distinct advantage at this venue.
Rajshahi Division have suffered two defeats in a row and will be looking to get back to winning ways as they take on Dhaka Division next. However, that won’t be an easy task as Dhaka have been terrific so far and have taken the top spot with two wins on the trot. Their batting and bowling units have looked in great shape so far, and it won’t be surprising if they dominate this contest too.
We are backing Dhaka Division as the winners of this contest.
