(Last 10 match)

The Shere Bangla National Stadium has a reputation for offering a balanced pitch, which supports both batters and bowlers. Initially, the wicket may favor the bowlers, particularly the pacers, with some movement early on. As the game progresses, however, the surface tends to favor the batters, with big scores often posted. The outfield is quick, and batsmen will have ample opportunities to score boundaries. Spinners will come into play in the middle overs, but overall, a total of 160-180 will be competitive. Winning the toss might tempt captains to bowl first, given the history of chasing teams performing well here.
