  Modeling of matter bounce in $f(R,T)$ gravity has been presented with no
violation of the null energy condition. Only a closed universe with negative
pressure is allowed in good agreement with some recent observations which favor
a universe with positive curvature. Our results agree with some recent works in
which a combination of positive curvature and vacuum energy leads to
non-singular bounces with no violation of the null energy condition. The
stability of the model has been discussed. The cosmographic parameters are
developed for the derived model to explain the accelerated expansion of the
universe.
