Pitch Condition:
Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka
Pitch is expected to be strictly neutral with bowlers (especially spinners) getting somewhat extra advantage. You can see scores in the vicinity of 250. Run scoring never remains easy on this ground. Third match will also be on the same pitch so batting will be difficult again.
In the last series against West Indies this wicket was too slow and spinners were getting lot of support from this.
Last 4 matches at this ground:
BAN: 246/10, SL: 141/9 ( Spin 9, Pace 9)
BAN: 257/6, SL: 224/10 ( Spin 10, Pace 6)
WI: 148, BAN: 149/3( Spin 8, Pace 4)
WI: 122, BAN: 125/4( Spin 9, Pace 5)
