BAN vs SL: Pitch Report
The Zahur Ahmed Stadium is slow and has less bounce. The bowlers will enjoy bowling here, as the pacers will get initial movement, but the spinners will be more effective. It is not easy to score from the beginning, and a player needs to spend some time adjusting to the pitch conditions.
