PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Dhaka will be a slower surface and at times may be double paced with variable bounce on the track owing to the used nature. Dhaka will have bright and sunny weather with no weather interruptions expected on the match day.

Venue Details

Dhaka will have a good outfield with ball flying to the boundaries off the bat. We expect the average scores to be around 250-260 runs in the match.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing has been the most preferred option in the limited over matches off late and we expect both captains to continue their trend in this match as they will be unaware of the playing XI.
