Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium Pitch Report: Batting or Bowling Surface?
Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium usually helps spinners as the ball grips after it softens and it’s tough for the batsmen to time their shots. In the first T20I, rain helped the seamers; only one of the 13 wickets was taken by a spinner.
It will be similar on Tuesday with some rain expected. Seamers will do well early on. Batsmen can take advantage of the hard ball before it softens. Spinners will become important as the ball gets older and hitting will be tough. Dew will also be a factor. Like the first T20I, the captain who wins the toss may choose to bowl first and use the cloudy conditions to their advantage.
