BAN vs IRE Outfield Report
Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, Chattogram
The pitch at Chattogram is expected to offer a batting-friendly surface with early grip for spinners and slower balls. Fast bowlers will rely heavily on variations, cutters, and yorkers as the ball softens. Set batters are likely to dominate the middle overs.
The weather forecast is comfortably cool with evening temperatures hovering between 21–24°C. Humidity may rise in the second innings, aiding swing early and bringing dew in the death overs. The dew could significantly influence the captain’s decision at the toss.
Historically, the Chattogram surface has supported scores between 165–200 when batting first. Chasing teams have succeeded frequently if wickets are preserved early, making 170 a highly competitive benchmark. Anything under 150 may leave the bowling side vulnerable.
