Bangladesh have achieved the historic feat. They have defeated England in the T20I series and have etched their name in the record books. They displayed the staggering performances in the two games and made World Champions look clueless. Their main focus will be now to achieve the whitewash in the series.
Fixture Name: Bangladesh vs England, 3rd T20I Competition: England tour of Bangladesh 2023 Date: 14th 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 66 games and the average first innings score at this venue is 140. Out of 66 games, 31 have been won by teams batting first whereas 35 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 and the pitch might get slow in the second half. The first match of the series was also played at this venue and it was a low scoring game but the pitch seemed to be on a slower side and ball came quite slowly onto the bat.
