As both teams gear up for a fascinating encounter, let's see how the surface at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium will behave throughout the match.

Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium Pitch Report: Is The Surface Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The pitch at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium generally assists batters and spin bowlers. The surface could offer an even pace and bounce, initially making it easy for batters to play shots when the ball is new and hard. However, as the ball softens, the batters might find it tricky to muscle it over the fence. 

Meanwhile, the spinners will likely get significant assistance in the middle overs across both innings. As the ball gets older, the pacers might use more cutters and slower balls than the regular seam-ups. 

If it's a dry deck, batting might become trickier as the game progresses. In that case, the toss-winning team might opt to bat first and put runs on the board.
