The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium is famed for its pitch favouring bowlers, providing a considerable challenge for batters. Its sluggish surface makes scoring swiftly a daunting endeavour, posing a tough challenge for the batting side. Nonetheless, as the match progresses, spinners benefit greatly from the pitch conditions, especially in the latter phases of the game. Opting to bat first after winning the toss could be a wise decision.
