BAN vs PAK: Pitch Report

The pitch at Shere Bangla National Stadium is usually known for helping spin bowlers. However, in the first match the surface had some grass, which gave fast bowlers a bit of assistance early in the game. If bowlers hit the right areas, they can still get help from the pitch. As the match goes on, the surface becomes easier for batting.
