As witnessed over the years, the pitch at the Shere Bangla National Stadium for the Bangladesh vs India 1st ODI will once again offer a pretty competitive wicket which will have enough assistance for both the batsmen and the spinners. This will be the first ODI on this venue since 2021 and thus, it will surely be a fresh track with good batting conditions on offer. However, the fast bowlers are unlikely to extract any help from this pitch even in the first few overs and they will be relying on consistent lengths to take wickets. With the wicket expected to slow down as the game progresses, the captain winning the toss should look to bat first.
