BAN-W vs SL-W: Pitch Report
The pitch in Rajshahi is usually slow and helps spinners and slower bowlers, making batting harder in the middle overs. However, in the last ODI between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the pitch was more balanced and helped both batters and fast bowlers. Pacers need to bowl in the right areas because the bounce can be low and uneven. Batters need time to settle. The average first innings score is around 190–220 runs.
