Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, Chattogram — Pitch Report
The surface at Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium in Chattogram might offer a hint of seam movement and extra bounce to the fast bowlers early on with the new ball. However, as the game progresses, the spinners will be the most valuable assets at the venue, getting a significant turn off the pitch.
