Sylhet International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

The Sylhet International Cricket Stadium offers a pitch that distinctly favours bowlers over batters. During the initial stages of the game, the wicket poses a formidable challenge for batters, requiring them to navigate challenging conditions. However, as the match progresses into the second innings, the pitch tends to improve, presenting a more balanced environment for both batting and bowling. Consequently, the team captain who wins the toss may find it prudent to opt for fielding first, capitalizing on the conditions.
