Shere Bangla National Stadium Pitch Report

The action has finally shifted to Dhaka after 24 gruelling matches in Sylhet. Batters can score a lot of runs if they are willing to get accustomed to the conditions. Spinners tend to get a lot of help from the track, especially in the second innings. Once the ball gets softer towards the back end of the innings, scoring could get tougher.
