DHAKA, Dec 23, 2024 (BSS)- Dhaka Metro will take on Rangpur Division in the 
final of the NCL T20 for securing the coveted trophy at Sylhet International 
Cricket Stadium tomorrow (Tuesday). 

The match starts at 12.30 PM.

Both of the teams came to the final as deserved teams after showing good 
consistency throughout the tournament.

Metro won all of the matches in the group phase but lost only game to Rangpur 
in the first Qualifier. However, they amended the mistakes in the second 
Qualifier to beat Khulna by 37 runs and thereby made it final at the second 
shot.

Rangpur, on the other hand, won five out of seven in the group phase to 
occupy the second slot behind Metro. However, in the first Qualifier, they 
beat Metro to move the final at the first shot.

There were handsome prizes on offer also. The Champions team will be rewarded 
with Taka 20 lakh along with a trophy. The runner-up will get Taka 10 lakh 
while the player of the tournament will pocket Taka 100,000 and the best 
batter and bowler will be rewarded with Taka 50,000 each. 

The tournament, which was launched to find some fresh cricketers, can be 
called successful. Aggressive batters like Jishan Alam and Azizul Hakim Tamim 
have shown their promise to give Bangladesh a hope that the future is in safe 
hands. Youngsters like Ahmed Sharif and Fahad Hossain have shone in bowling. 

Apart from them, experienced cricketers like Naim Sheikh, Kazi Nurul Hasan 
Sohan, Abu Haider Roni and Alauddin Babu have also proved themselves. 
Overall, the NCL T20 has made a good mark on the cricket canvas.

The organisers have also made a great effort to create a stir in the 
tournament. They unveiled the logo and trophy at separate events in Dhaka. 
They completed the event with a captain's meet in Sylhet and a photo session 
before the final. In addition, all the matches were broadcast live, so the 
audience's eyes were also on the TV screen. Now they are just waiting for the 
final.
