Shere Bangla National Stadium’s Pitch Report

The surface is on the sluggish side and the batting won’t be easy on this track. While the spinners are likely to get some turn off the surface, the pacers’ bowl will stop at the batters. Hence, the shot-making will be difficult. The batting might get easier under the lights; therefore, the team winning the toss might opt to bowl first.
