With the top four teams all advancing to the play-off stage of the 2025 Bangladesh Premier League, this clash will certainly play a part in deciding who ends up in those places so there will be plenty to play for!
All seven teams begin this week with three remaining group stage games to play and now is the time to find some form to take into the knockout stage of the tournament.
Both sides in this game, Durbar Rajshahi and Chittagong Kings, are not in the greatest of form with the Kings losing both of their last two matches and Rajshahi failing to win back to back matches all campaign.
Under the lights in Chattogram on Monday evening, this could be the game to get one of the teams back on track!

It was a high scoring affair for Durbar Rajshahi in their last match on Sunday but unfortunately for them they left the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on the wrong end of the result!
Although the bowling attack will have been disappointed to leak 209 runs across their 20 overs, there were impressive performances from Jishan Alam and the ever-reliable Taskin Ahmed. We expect both to be key in this game, alongside Mrittunjoy Chowdhury who had a rare off day, delivering five wides across his four overs. However, he is a top performer and we expect him to respond well in this fixture.
Chasing 210 to win but coming up eight runs short, shows that Rajshahi do have some explosive batting talents. None more so than skipper Anamul Haque who hit 100 not out from 57 balls and will look to dominate the batting innings from number three in this match.

Chittagong Kings were also in action on Sunday but they made the pitch look far juicier for the bowlers as they good only post 121/8 when batting first against Fortune Barisal. Unsurprisingly that was not enough and the game was lost with 19 balls remaining of the second innings!
The pitch in Chattogram tends to be easier to bat on later in the day so that should give the batters for the Kings a boost and we expect the trio of Usman Khan, Graham Clark and Mohammad Mithun to be their main contributors. Mithun, Khan and Khaled Ahmed were the only two to hit sixes on Sunday and that statistic will need to improve in this game!
With the ball, Khaled took 2/27 from 3.5 overs with Arafat Sunny also picking up a wicket with 1/33 from his four overs. The team management will be looking to Shoriful Islam to be at his best to get the team back on track.

According to the forecast, the weather will be very similar to what we have seen over recent days. That is the temperature peaking at around 27 degrees in the mid-afternoon with the humidity levels picking up over the late afternoon and into the evening.
Overall this is a good batting surface and teams need to attack the opposing bowlers to get most value. Losing early wickets will not help but even in that scenario, a par first innings total should still be 200+.
Four of the last five games in this phase in Chattogram have been won by the team batting first so we predict that both team captains will have 'batting first' at the forefront of their mind when they go out for the toss!
Winning this game will probably not guarantee either team safe age through to the play-offs and with the low confidence levels on display, tougher tests for both sides are likely to be around the corner. We are expecting both teams to play themselves into their innings with the bat, that is not to throw away wickets, but overall our prediction is for Chittagong Kings to end their losing streak and get back to winning ways.
