BPL 2024, Match 03:
- Date and time: January 20; 07:30 pm GMT | 01:00 pm IST | 01:30 pm local
- Venue: Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, Dhaka
Sher-e-Bangla Stadium Pitch Analysis:
The Shere Bangla National Stadium pitch consistently favors spin bowlers, resulting in a tendency for the ball to maintain a lower bounce. As a result, batters may face challenges in scoring quick runs at this venue. In such conditions, spinners are strategically positioned to take advantage of the pitch, especially as the game progresses. Opting to bat first is a wise decision at this venue, allowing teams to set a competitive total while making the most of the favorable conditions throughout the match.
