KHUD vs DHAD Pitch Report

The venue of the match is Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet, Bangladesh. Established in 2007, it holds around 18,000–20,000 spectators and has become a prominent host for T20 and ODI matches. Known for its generally batting‑friendly tracks and good bounce, the stadium has tended to favour chasing teams in recent T20s. It has hosted numerous international fixtures, making it a well recognized venue in Bangladesh cricket.

Toss: To Bowl

At Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, the pitch historically offers an edge to teams batting second: in T20 matches, chasing sides have won 12 out of 15 games. The drop in pace later in the innings often helps while defending is tougher. Thus, the captain winning the toss might prefer to field first.
