Pitch Report :
The pitches at the venue, like other Bangladeshi wickets, have benefited bowlers and batsmen alike, but particularly the slower bowlers.
In light of this, should the skipper win the toss, he or she will attempt to protect the total by using the slower bowlers and won’t hesitate to score runs.
The Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram will host all three of the ODI series’ games.
It’s difficult to declare with certainty that this surface is a toss-win, bat-second affair. We anticipate that the side that wins the toss will send the other team to bat first.
