Pitch Report:
The pitch at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium has traditionally favored both batters and bowlers. While the surface offers good bounce, it is also known to slow down as the match progresses, making it ideal for spin bowlers. Pacers can make the most of the fresh conditions early in the innings, while spinners tend to get more assistance as the game moves into the middle overs. The shorter boundaries can lead to high-scoring encounters, with teams likely to chase with confidence.
