Shere Bangla National Stadium pitch report:

For batters, the surface at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium is difficult. With the new ball, quick bowlers can first take advantage of the conditions. Batting, however, gets a little easier as the ball gets older, enabling players to better time their shots. On this course, however, the trick lies with the spinners.

They take a lot of turns as the game goes on, which makes it hard for the batters. Teams chasing have won 61 of the 98 BPL games played here. Because of the venue's history of favouring teams batting second, captains frequently choose to bowl first, making the toss crucial.
