Dhaka Metropolis take on Chattogram Division in the eight game of the National Cricket League T20 2025 at Bogra. Last year’s runners-up, Dhaka, continue to look solid this season too and have taken the top spot after two games. Meanwhile, Chattogram’s first game was washed out due to rain, and they will now be looking to get their first win on the board. However, Dhaka’s squad looks more settled, and they enter the contest as slight favorites.

Dhaka Metropolis were among the best sides in last year’s National Cricket League T20, sweeping all eight of their group matches before faltering in the final against Rangpur. This season has begun on a bright note as well, with a comfortable seven-wicket win over Rajshahi Division followed by a washout. That has been enough to keep them at the top of the table.
Skipper Mohammad Naim will be keen to deliver once more after topping the run charts in the previous edition, scoring 316 runs across 10 matches. Anisul Islam Emon also made his presence felt last season, adding 148 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 100.
The batting order is further lifted by Mahfijul Islam and the seasoned Mahmudullah, who provide steadiness and experience.
As for the attack, Abu Hider is expected to head the pace unit after claiming 13 wickets last year while maintaining an economy rate of 6.05. Shohidul Islam and Arif Ahmed are dependable partners who add depth to the bowling resources.

Chattogram Division made the playoffs last year after finishing fourth, collecting three wins along the way while losing four. Their campaign ended in the Eliminator against Khulna, and the team now looks to turn things around with a stronger showing this season.
Yasir Ali leads the team once again, bringing in the value of his international experience. A reliable middle-order option, he shone in last year’s National Cricket League T20 by ending as Chattogram’s second-highest run scorer.
Mahmudul Hasan Joy is another name who could play a major role. He impressed with 175 runs across eight matches last season and will be eager to build on that performance.
Support in the batting will come from Shahadat Hossain and Mominul Haque, who both add a measure of security and can be banked on for 20 to 30 runs in the middle overs.
Their attack also looks well covered. Ahmed Sharif leads it after finishing as the top wicket taker last season with 17 strikes in eight games. Fahad Hossian and Nayeem Hasan, who accounted for 20 wickets between them last time out, bring variety and depth to the lineup.

The pitch at Shaheed Chandu Stadium in Bogra is typically dry and sluggish, giving spinners an immediate advantage. Batters often struggle to find their rhythm early, as the surface offers turn and grip, forcing them to pick their shots carefully. Fast bowlers might get a bit of help with the new ball, with some seam movement, but spinners will dictate terms for most of the match.
Recent weather in Bogra has been wet, with heavy rain over the past few days, and the forecast suggests more of the same for match day.

Last year’s highest score at Shaheed Chandu Stadium came from Dhaka Division, who successfully chased 207 against Sylhet Division. But most team totals here have stayed between 150 and 170. For this match, a first-innings total of around 160 to 170 should be enough to put the opposition under pressure during the chase.
With rain around, both teams are likely to prefer to bowl first in case DRS comes into play in a short chase.
Dhaka Metropolis have started the new season on the right note and will look to build on that momentum. Chattogram Division, meanwhile, are searching for their first win after their season opener was washed out. They appear to be a serious team this time and will likely challenge Dhaka. However, overall squad balance and form give Dhaka Metropolis the edge in this contest.
We are backing Dhaka Metropolis as the winners of this match.
