Chattogram Royals vs Noakhali Express Prediction & Match Preview – BPL 25th Match

Chattogram Royals had a disappointing last game, finishing on 129 for eight while chasing a modest target. Much depends on openers Mohammad Naim and Adam Rossington. Rossington had scored 49 and 58 before that rare failure, and Naim has had starts but not yet turned them into big scores. Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Hasan Nawaz bat at three and four, with captain Mahedi Hasan and Asif Ali giving depth and finishing power.

Shoriful Islam, Tanvir Islam and Aamer Jamal lead the attack, with Jamal regularly taking top-order wickets and Mahedi adding tight spells.

Noakhali Express are at the bottom of the table but have looked better lately. Hasan Mahmud and Mehedi Hasan Rana have been the standout wicket-takers, supported by Mohammad Nabi. Hassan Eisakhil’s 92 in the previous match took them to 184, and Soumya Sarkar has also batted well, with Habibur Rahman Sohan and Nabi providing stability. Captain Haider Ali and Jaker Ali must finish innings well, as batting consistency remains the side’s biggest concern.

Probable playing XI

Pitch report

Shere Bangla National Stadium usually has a batting-friendly surface with true bounce. Early swing or seam movement fades fast, the pitch flattens in the middle overs, and spinners become effective later as it slows. Moderate boundaries reward timing, with T20 totals of 160–180 usual here.

Weather

At 1:00 pm local time it should be hot and sunny at about 30–31 °C, with mostly clear skies, light to moderate breezes and moderate humidity. Rain is very unlikely.

Expected scores

• 1st innings: 160–175
• 2nd innings: 155–170
