Noakhali Express vs Rajshahi Warriors Highlights, 6th BPL Match | Dec 29: Ripon Mondol’s 4-Fer, as RJW Seal 6-Wicket Win to Open Account

NOE vs RJW 6th BPL Match Highlights saw Rajshahi Warriors secure a controlled six-wicket victory over Noakhali Express at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on December 29, 2025. Chasing a modest target of 125, Rajshahi completed the job in 17.5 overs to open their point’s tally, while Noakhali were left searching for batting stability early in the season.

Rajshahi Warriors’ decision to field first immediately shaped the match narrative on a surface that rewarded disciplined seam bowling. The early movement allowed their bowlers to control the powerplay, forcing Noakhali Express into conservative batting choices. Although the pitch was not excessively difficult, timing the ball cleanly required patience, something Noakhali struggled to maintain through the innings.

NOE never quite recovered from a fragmented top order. Habibur Rahman Sohan fell inside the first two overs, and despite Maaz Sadaqat showing intent with a brisk 25 off 19 balls, wickets continued to fall at regular intervals. Haider Ali attempted to anchor the innings with 33 off 28 deliveries, but his dismissal in the 18th over ended any realistic chance of a late surge. The middle overs were dominated by Rajshahi’s bowling discipline, with Ripon Mondol’s four-over spell dismantling Noakhali’s momentum entirely. Noakhali closed on 124 for 8, a total that reflected effort but lacked sustained partnerships.

Rajshahi’s chase began with an early setback as Sahibzada Farhan departed in the first over, yet the response was calm rather than reactive. Tanzid Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto rebuilt efficiently, combining boundary-hitting with strike rotation to push the run rate ahead of the required pace. Their stand took the chase beyond early nerves, and even after both fell in quick succession, the target remained well within control.

Mushfiqur Rahim provided the composure needed to finish the job. His unbeaten 28 off 30 balls ensured there was no late collapse, while Yasir Ali supported him steadily at the other end. Noakhali’s bowlers created brief pressure through Hasan Mahmud and Zahir Khan, but the lack of wickets in clusters meant Rajshahi never lost control of the chase, eventually sealing victory with more than two overs to spare.

Rajshahi Warriors called correctly at the toss and chose to begin the contest in the field.
