Sylhet International Cricket Stadium is a dream venue for bowlers. The ball stops on the batters, making it ideal for the spinners. Fast bowlers have also enjoyed a good record at this venue. Batters who are patient and build their innings have been successful at this venue.

Toss: To Bowl

It has been a difficult wicket to score runs, and most of the games played so far have been low-scoring affairs. Most teams have preferred to bowl first and take advantage of the conditions. It's a morning game and the wicket would be tough to bat on. Hence, we expect the side winning the toss to bowl first.
