Pitch report :
Shere Bangla National Stadium’s surface is usually biased toward spinners and has a little less bounce. As the game progresses, spinners may take advantage of the situation because high-scoring games are not expected, so hitters may need to adjust to a lower bounce. In Dhaka, the bowling side has more advantages due to the surface’s low and slow speed. Due to the fact that spinners often take more wickets, scoring is tough in this situation. Chasing is the best strategy after a toss. The team that wins the toss may choose to bowl or bat based on the state of the field.
However, the seamen will also benefit from the light; moisture will also have an impact.
In the last 20 games played here, the first innings scoring has averaged 155 runs.
