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.
