Sylhet Stadium Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

Talking about Sylhet Stadium, it is a batting friendly wicket. Even in the first match of BPL 2024, Sylhet Strikers and Rangpur Riders, the Riders had a comfortable win chasing a big total of 206 as Alex Hales smashed a century. 

Thus, it is a batters' friendly, but since this match will take place, already three matches would have been held and this surface might get a bit slow and help the bowlers. 

Players To Watch Out For At Sylhet Stadium

Tamim Iqbal

Talking about Tamim, he is hungry for runs and have scored 35 runs in two matches. He has averaged just 17 so far, but would look to score big in the upcoming match and make a mark in the Bangladesh Premier League.

Shaheen Afridi

It is worth noting that Afridi is also having a disastrous tournament so far as he is wicketless so far. Although, Shaheen has amassed 35 runs with the bat. Thus, the upcoming match can be a game changer one for the Pakistan star all-rounder.

Amin Hossain

It is worth noting that the 32-year-old has shone in this BPL tournament as he has 2 wickets in two games and will definitely be a player to watch out for in the upcoming match against Fortune Barishal.
