BAN-W vs SL-W: Pitch Report

The Sylhet pitch is expected to offer a balanced contest between bat and ball. In the first innings, batters can play their shots more freely as the pitch is better for batting. The average first innings score is around 145–160. As the game progresses, the pitch gets slower and more conducive to spinners. Pacers can get some help in the power play, but later it becomes difficult for them. Teams batting first have done better in this series, so winning the toss and batting first could be a good choice.
