On 5 November 2019, Abdur Razzak took his 600th first-class wicket, becoming the first Bangladeshi bowler to reach the milestone.[5] On 18 November 2019, Shahadat Hossain of Dhaka Division was withdrawn mid-way through the match with Khulna Division, after he physically assaulted teammate Arafat Sunny.[6] Shahadat initially faced a ban from cricket of up to one year.[7] However, he was given a five-year ban, with two years suspended for the incident.[8]

Khulna Division won the tournament, beating Dhaka Division by nine wickets in the final round of matches.[9] It was their seventh win, a record for victories in the NCL.[10] In Tier 2, Sylhet Division secured promotion to Tier 1, after beating Chittagong Division, also by the margin of nine wickets.[11] Defending champions, Rajshahi Division, finished bottom of Tier 1 and were relegated to Tier 2.[12]
