Sylhet International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
Sylhet International Cricket Stadium
The Sylhet pitch has historically offered something for everyone. While the surface generally supports stroke-making, there’s also enough assistance for seamers early on. Dew in the evening may make bowling challenging, particularly in the second half, turning the contest into a battle of adaptability. Expect moderate scores with the occasional high-scoring passage if batsmen exploit the short boundaries.
Weather Report
January in Sylhet is winter at its peak. Evening temperatures drop significantly, and dew accumulation on the outfield can affect grip and ball behavior. Teams chasing after 7 PM will need to adapt quickly, and spinners may find the ball skidding slightly, giving batsmen a subtle advantage in the late overs.

Sylhet Titans vs Rangpur Riders Team Preview & Squads
Sylhet Titans
Captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz is the linchpin of SYT, blending tactical nous with all-round contributions. His ability to stabilize innings or deliver late breakthroughs with the ball will be key, especially against a confident RAR lineup.
The batting lineup relies on Parvez Hossain Emon for steady accumulation and impactful hitting. Complemented by Aaron Jones, Moeen Ali, and Hazratullah Zazai, SYT can produce explosive starts. Middle-order stability will depend on Mehidy and Rony Talukdar negotiating RAR’s potent bowling attack.
SYT’s bowling unit is led by Khaled Ahmed, whose recent 4/23 underlines his wicket-taking threat. Mehidy Hasan Miraz adds crucial all-round balance, while Ebadot Hossain and Nasum Ahmed provide seam depth. The Titans’ challenge is sustaining pressure in the death overs under dew conditions.
