NOE vs RJW Match Prediction: We have just crossed the halfway point of the league stage of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025-26. Next up is match 17 that will pit the Noakhali Express against the Rajshahi Warriors on Thursday afternoon in Sylhet.
Noakhali have been the worst of the five teams so far in this competition, having lost all of their five matches. They could soon be pushed into a must-win situation if they lose this game.
On the other hand, Rajshahi have performed impressively, winning three matches and losing only one.
Noakhali Express vs Rajshahi Warriors team news:
Expect one or two changes in Noakhali’s team, following their fifth consecutive loss. Mehedi Hasan Rana, Abu Jayed, or Jaker Ali could get back in the XI for this match.
For the Rajshahi Warriors, Pathum Nissanka and Sahibzada Farhan are not available due to Sri Lanka’s white-ball series against Pakistan. Jimmy Neesham’s ILT20 duties are over, and we might see him play in the BPL this season for Rajshahi. Nonetheless, the Warriors are not expected to make alterations to their winning combination.
