How Will the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium Pitch Behave?

The conditions at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka seems to have something for fast bowlers as well as for the batters. While the average first innings total at the venue during the opening leg of the BPL 2024-25 season amounted to 180, the same marks 150 for the final 10 matches of the league stage of the tournament. On occasions, batting teams have managed to rack up huge totals. However, fast bowlers have been able to run through their opponents after making early inroads.
