BAN vs IRE Outfield Report
Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, Chattogram
The Chattogram surface is renowned for its batting-friendly conditions, characterised by early swing and late-innings dew. Spinners get grip only in the first innings, after which the ball skids on nicely. Expect free scoring if the chasing side gets a dry ball.
Clear skies are expected with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 29°C during match hours. High humidity increases the likelihood of dew in the second innings. The wind is light, meaning bowlers will rely more on their skills than on natural drift.
Teams batting first often consider 175–190 a competitive total on this ground, while anything below 155 becomes difficult to defend. Chasing sides have historically dominated evening matches. If Ireland bats first, Bangladesh must prevent powerplay damage early.
Bangladesh vs Ireland Head-to-Head Stats of Last 5 Matches
