The seventh match of the National Cricket League T20 2025 pits Sylhet Division against Barishal Division in Sylhet. Both teams saw their opening fixtures washed out because of bad weather, so this game presents a chance for either side to register their first victory of the season. Sylhet appear to be the more balanced team on paper, giving them a narrow edge going into this encounter.

Sylhet Division struggled to make an impact last year, finishing sixth after collecting only two wins from seven games and suffering five defeats. They have reshaped their squad slightly and will be aiming to deliver a much stronger performance this year.
Zakir Hasan takes over the captaincy and will be counted on to produce steady scores. He has over 1,500 T20 runs with nine fifties and will be expected to lead by example.
Mushfiqur Rahim will be another major figure in their batting lineup. With more than 6,000 T20 runs, the veteran has long been one of Bangladesh’s most dependable players and can be trusted to chip in with 20 to 30 runs on most days.
Tawfique Khan and Parvez Hossain Emon are also expected to provide useful runs in the middle order.
In bowling, Khaled Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain will shoulder the pace duties, both having picked up 10 wickets last season. Nabil Samad, with his left-arm spin, and Sahanur Rahma, with his off-spin, could also play important roles in containing opposition lineups.

Barishal Division had a rough ride last season, finishing at the bottom after winning only two out of seven matches. Their aim this time will be to break into the top four and push further into the competition.
Iftakhar Hossain Ifti will take charge as skipper after managing 153 runs in six games last season at a strike rate of 111.
Fazle Mahmud was their most consistent batter last year, scoring 175 runs in six innings at nearly 30 per outing while striking at 141. He will be counted on again, along with Sohag Gazi, Salman Hossain, and Shamsul Islam, who bring much-needed steadiness to the order.
Mohammad Manik can be a factor in the later overs, capable of adding handy runs from the lower middle order.
For the bowling unit, Ruyel Miah looks the one to watch after picking up eight wickets last season while maintaining an economy of 8.20. Jehadul Jehad has also been dependable and should provide good support, while Tanvir Islam and Yeasin Arafat give depth to the attack.

Sylhet International Cricket Stadium is known for its dry, slow surface that favors spinners right from the start. Batters will find it tough to time the ball early, as the pitch tends to grip and turn, making shot selection critical. Morning conditions may assist fast bowlers briefly with some movement, but the game will likely be dominated by slow bowlers.
The weather in Sylhet will be overcast and hot, and we should get a full game.

Last season, the highest total posted at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in the National Cricket League T20 was Dhaka Division’s 207-4 versus Sylhet Division in a chase. Most scores, though, hovered around 150-170 runs. For this game, we reckon a total of around 160-170 will put pressure on the chasing side.
Since this is a morning game, the team winning the toss might prefer to bat first to avoid chasing on a deteriorating track.
Both Sylhet Division and Barishal Division have a lot to prove and will be itching to start their season with a win. On paper, both sides have plenty of firepower with the bat. However, Sylhet look to be more balanced across the board while Barishal’s bowling attack looks weak. Hence, Sylhet seem to be the safer bet for this game.
Back Sylhet Division as the winners of this game.
