Team Previews
Khulna Division Preview
Khulna Division enter this contest full of confidence, currently sitting 3rd in the points table with 5 points from four games. Their Net Run Rate is slightly negative (–0.131), but back-to-back wins in their last two outings have given them momentum at the right stage of the tournament. They beat Dhaka Metro by 22 runs and followed it up with a narrow 3-run win against Rangpur Division, proving their ability to handle pressure.
Their batting has been spearheaded by Soumya Sarkar, who has scored 108 runs at an explosive strike rate of 161.19. Alongside him, Afif Hossain has been consistent with 88 runs at 44.00, providing middle-order stability. Veteran campaigners like Mohammad Mithun and Anamul Haque add further depth.
With the ball, Robiul Haque has been outstanding, leading the tournament charts with 6 wickets at 13.33, supported ably by Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, who has chipped in with 4 wickets. Khulna’s all-round strength and psychological edge (3-0 record over Barisal in their last three meetings) make them clear favourites.
Key Players: Soumya Sarkar, Afif Hossain, Robiul Haque, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury
Predicted Playing XI:
Imranuzzaman, Anamul Haque, Afif Hossain, Mohammad Mithun, Nahidul Islam, Ziaur Rahman, Tipu Sultan, Robiul Haque, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, Sheikh Parvez Jibon, Yasen Muntasir
Barisal Division Preview
Barisal Division’s campaign has been disappointing. They sit bottom of the table with 1 point, having lost three of their four games with one abandoned. Their Net Run Rate of –1.502 reflects their struggles in both batting and bowling. They have shown flashes of competitiveness, like in their 2-wicket loss to Sylhet, but overall they’ve failed to close matches.
Fazle Mahmud has been their lone bright spot with 113 runs in 3 innings at 37.66, including a half-century. However, the lack of partnerships has hurt Barisal in setting or chasing competitive totals. In the bowling department, Tanvir Islam (5 wickets at 16.00) and Mehedi Hasan (4 wickets at 12.00) have been consistent, but without support from others, they’ve struggled to contain opposition line-ups.
For Barisal to upset Khulna, their batting unit must fire collectively, and bowlers need to strike early. Anything less, and their winless run may continue.
Key Players: Fazle Mahmud, Tanvir Islam, Mehedi Hasan, Sohag Gazi
Predicted Playing XI:
Rafsan Al Mahamud, Iftakhar Hossain Ifti, Fazle Mahmud, Salman Hossain Emon, Moin Khan, Zahiduzzaman, Sohag Gazi, Mehedi Hasan, Tanvir Islam, Yeasin Arafat, Moinul Islam

Favourite Team in Today’s Match
Khulna Division are favourites heading into this clash. They are in form, have balance in their squad, and have consistently dominated Barisal in recent seasons. Their batting lineup led by Soumya Sarkar and Afif Hossain has looked sharper, while their bowling has been disciplined with Robiul Haque leading the attack. Barisal, on the other hand, lack collective performances, relying heavily on Fazle Mahmud and Tanvir Islam. Unless Barisal’s middle order steps up, it’s difficult to see them toppling Khulna, who have the edge in momentum, head-to-head record, and all-round quality.
Pitch Report
The Sylhet surface is balanced but tends to slow down as the game progresses. Batters who spend time in the middle will find scoring easier, while spinners and medium pacers could dominate the middle overs. A total around 150 is considered competitive here.
Weather Report
