After a disappointing outing in the ODI series, Bangladesh kick started the T20I series on a high note. They displayed a staggering brand of cricket and pounded the visitors by 6 wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the sides. England on the other hand were poor with both bat and ball and couldn’t capitalise on the things they had their array.
Fixture Name: Bangladesh vs England, 2nd T20I Competition: England tour of Bangladesh 2023 Date: 12th March 2023 Time: 2:30 PM IST Ground: Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka
The Dhaka pitch traditionally has been a good batting surface. Batters have enjoyed playing at this venue as it has been a happy hunting ground for them. The initial look of the surface suggests that apart from a good batting deck, the wicket will suit pacers as well. But with game being in Bangladesh, there’ll be a traditional touch of Asian pitches, which offers spin as well. The venue so far has hosted 65 games and the average first innings score at this venue is 140. Out of 65 games, 31 have been won by teams batting first whereas 34 have been won each by teams bowling first. Although the pattern in the T20Is suggest that teams prefer bowling, but at this venue it is suggested that teams should bat first as it’ll be best time to bat.
