CHR vs NOE Match Analysis
At Mirpur in an early afternoon slot, this 25th match of the BPL 2025-26 arrives at a meaningful juncture of the tournament. On a surface that rewards discipline and tactical nuance, margins will be thin and game management decisive.
Chattogram Royals come in with a confident W W L W W run, underpinned by a last-out, last-ball escape against Rajshahi. That chase revealed composure under pressure, and the leadership of Mahedi Hasan continues to set the tempo. Their balance between calculated batting and controlled bowling has made them difficult to put away, particularly in low-scoring contexts.
Noakhali Express, after a stuttering L L L W W start, appear to have found rhythm at the right time. The 41-run win over Dhaka showcased their batting ceiling, driven by Hassan Eisakhil’s match-winning 92. With Hasan Mahmud providing bite and Mohammad Nabi adding all-phase value, NOE arrive with momentum and a clear blueprint for Mirpur conditions.

Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur Pitch Report
Shere Bangla National Stadium
Mirpur is traditionally slow and low, a surface that rewards accuracy, spin, and cutters over raw pace. Stroke-making requires patience, and totals tend to be modest in T20s. Expect value for disciplined bowling and a premium on boundary placement rather than power.
Weather Report
Conditions are forecast to be clear and dry, with a low to moderate dew factor more relevant to night fixtures than an early afternoon start. With minimal atmospheric interference, the contest should be decided by execution rather than elements. The absence of heavy dew favors spinners and grip-dependent bowlers, reinforcing Mirpur’s usual demand for tactical batting and sharp fielding.

Chattogram Royals vs Noakhali Express Team Preview & Squads
Chattogram Royals
Mahedi Hasan’s influence extends beyond the toss; he sets the team’s operational tempo. As captain, he anchors plans to suit Mirpur’s demands, balancing conservatism with timely aggression. His dual role ensures on-field adaptability, adjusting fields, rotating bowlers, and pacing chases, qualities that proved decisive in their last-gasp win at Sylhet.
Batting-wise, CHR lean on structure rather than flamboyance. Hasan Nawaz’s calm under pressure, evidenced by his 35* in the previous match, offers late-innings control. With options like Paul Stirling, Avishka Fernando, Niroshan Dickwella, and Mohammad Naim, they possess varied methods, but their success here hinges on strike rotation and avoiding the temptation to force boundaries on a reluctant surface.
Bowling and all-round depth remain their competitive edge. Aamer Jamal’s impact across disciplines, recognized by his MVP showing, adds wicket-taking threat and lower-order resilience. The presence of spin and seam options such as Arafat Sunny, Tanvir Islam, Shoriful Islam, and Sumon Khan equips CHR to squeeze in the middle overs, while Mahedi’s all-round utility ties the unit together.

Noakhali Express
Haider Ali’s captaincy brings clarity of intent, particularly in exploiting match-ups. NOE’s recent resurgence has been built on decisive batting leadership and proactive bowling changes. His willingness to attack in key phases has unlocked their potential, especially when the top order sets a platform.
The batting core is unmistakably driven by Hassan Eisakhil, whose 92 against Dhaka defined their ceiling. With support from Johnson Charles, Kusal Mendis, Soumya Sarkar, and Jaker Ali, NOE can assemble competitive totals even on slower decks, provided they respect early movement and preserve wickets for a controlled acceleration.
Bowling offers both pace and spin versatility. Hasan Mahmud leads the wicket-taking effort, while Mohammad Nabi’s all-round skill set becomes especially valuable at Mirpur, where guile often trumps speed. Ihsanullah, Zahir Khan, and Rejaur Rahman Raja provide variation, enabling NOE to attack with the new ball and choke scoring through the middle overs.
