Pitch report:
The pitch at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium is known to be bowler-friendly, offering good assistance to the bowlers across various stages of the match. The surface tends to be on the slower si🐟de, which al🎃lows spinners to come into play as the match progresses and therefore the factor of easy stroke making gets out of the picture for batters.
