Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Pitch Report
The previous match at this venue was between hosts USA and Pakistan. There was some movement for the bowlers initially before it became a good batting paradise.
Pakistan posted 159 for 7 in 20 overs with contributions from Babar Azam, Shahbad Khan and Shaheen Shah Afridi. In reply, it was a great batting performance by USA batters as Nitish Kumar hit a boundary too and went into a Super Over.
With the match starting early, the captain that wins the toss would likely field first, restrict the opponent, and chase down the target.
