CRS vs NES Betting Tips
Adam Rossington to score Over 19.5 runs
Adam Rossington has been the standout performer for the Chattogram Royals this season and currently leads the team’s run charts with an impressive average of 64.5 from six matches. He has crossed the 20-run mark in four of his last five innings, including three half-centuries, underlining both form and consistency. With his confidence high and his role at the top of the order secured, Rossington looks well placed to deliver another solid contribution in this match.
Chattogram Royals total runs before fall of 1st wicket Over 20.5
The opening pair of Mohammad Naim and Adam Rossington has provided Chattogram with strong platforms throughout the tournament. They have added at least 21 runs for the first wicket in each of the last five matches, showing both stability and intent in the powerplay. Given their current rhythm and Noakhali’s new-ball struggles, backing Chattogram to cross 20.5 runs before the first dismissal appears to be a smart betting option.

CR vs NE Team Previews
Chattogram Royals
The Chattogram Royals have been one of the most reliable teams this season, winning five of their seven matches so far. A victory here would confirm their place in the playoffs. Their success has largely been built around the strong opening partnership of Mohammad Naim and Adam Rossington, with Rossington currently leading the team’s run-scoring charts.
In the middle order, Hasan Nawaz and Mahedi Hasan have provided useful contributions, but Chattogram will be hoping at least one of them converts a start into a match-defining innings. The batting unit has plenty of depth, with players such as Shadman Islam, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, and Asif Ali capable of accelerating when required.
With the ball, the Royals boast one of the tournament’s most potent pace attacks. Shoriful Islam and Aamer Jamal have combined for 23 wickets and regularly strike early with the new ball. Spin duties will be handled by Tanvir Islam, who is expected to play a key role during the middle overs.
Chattogram Royals Expected Playing 11
Adam Rossington (WK), Mohammad Naim, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Mahedi Hasan (C), Hasan Nawaz, Asif Ali, Aamer Jamal, Shadman Islam, Abu Hider, Tanvir Islam, Shoriful Islam

Noakhali Express
After a disastrous start to their campaign, the Noakhali Express have managed back-to-back victories to keep their season alive. However, their qualification hopes remain slim, and even winning all remaining matches may not guarantee a playoff spot.
Hasan Eisakhil announced himself in style on debut with a superb half-century and is expected to continue at the top alongside Soumya Sarkar. While the opening pair offers promise, the middle order has been a major concern. Despite the presence of experienced names such as Jaker Ali, Habibur Rahman Sohan, and Haider Ali, Noakhali have struggled to maintain momentum during the middle overs.
The bowling unit, particularly the fast bowlers, has been their brighter aspect. Hasan Mahmud leads the tournament’s wicket charts with 14 scalps and has been well supported by Zahir Khan and Mehedi Hasan Rana. However, the slower bowlers will need to improve their accuracy if Noakhali are to contain Chattogram’s deep batting lineup.
Noakhali Express Expected Playing 11
Hasan Eisakhil, Soumya Sarkar, Habibur Rahman Sohan, Jaker Ali (WK), Mohammad Nabi, Haider Ali (C), Mehedi Hasan Rana, Hasan Mahmud, Abu Jayed, Ihsanullah, Shahadat Hossain
CR vs NE Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss is likely to bowl first, taking advantage of any early assistance for the seamers.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
This will be the first match of the season at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, where a balanced surface is expected. There should be some moisture early on, offering movement for the fast bowlers with the new ball. As the innings progresses, batting conditions are likely to improve.
The average first-innings score at this venue is around 150–155 runs, with spinners coming into play during the latter half. Weather conditions are expected to be clear, with temperatures around 22°C.
CR vs NE: Who Will Win?
We are backing the Chattogram Royals to win this contest. They have been the more consistent side throughout the season, performing well with both bat and ball. Having already defeated Noakhali earlier in the tournament, they will take confidence into this matchup.
That said, Noakhali’s recent resurgence suggests they will not go down without a fight.
Bet on Chattogram Royals to win.
