Rangpur Division defeated Dacca Metropolis 667 to 484 in the National Cricket League on 10 October 2026. The visitors dominated from the opening session, building a lead that never wavered despite the hosts' attempts to respond. It was a comprehensive victory that underscored Rangpur's current momentum.
The match itself was straightforward in its progression. Rangpur Division posted a formidable total and then saw through the chase without significant pressure. Dacca Metropolis fought hard in the middle phases but never quite got close enough to force a decisive moment.
Recent form suggests this result was no surprise. Dacca Metropolis had posted 683 against Sylhet on 3 October, showing they can score heavily. Rangpur Division, meanwhile, has been winning consistently — 489:293 against Dacca, then victories over Khulna, Chittagong, and Dacca in succession.
The standings tell a different story. Both sides sit at the top of the table with two points each, though both have played zero games. The season appears to have just begun, and these figures reflect points awarded rather than results earned on the field.
What this match does change is the narrative around both teams. Rangpur Division have now won consecutive encounters against Dacca Metropolis, including a 93:90 victory on 6 October 2025. Dacca Metropolis, despite their high-scoring display against Sylhet, have now lost two of three meetings with Rangpur across both seasons.
