BPL 2024 Qualifier 1 Rangpur Vs Comilla Match Pitch Report :
The surface at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka appears a little slow early in the game. The winning total might be closer to 135–145. It will be the turn of the spinners to profit. Both teams should score well, however the pacers may grab a few early wickets in the powerplay overs. That big score games are not anticipated. Although hitters rule the middle and final overs, Pacers prefer the bounce in the first few overs. The ball might appear insignificant, but dew will surely have an effect. At this place, it’s advisable to go up to the bowling first.
