Chattogram Stadium Pitch Report

The Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium pitch in Chattogram offers a balanced contest, assisting pacers with early seam movement and bounce under the new ball, as evidenced by Ireland’s strong 181/4 in the 1st T20I. Batters can capitalize on true bounce for fluent strokeplay initially, with an average first-innings score of 146 across 32 T20s, though the surface slows later, favoring spinners who extract turn and cutters from overs 10 onward. Teams batting first have won 17 matches (61% success rate), making it ideal to set 160-170; chases succeed up to 190 but face tougher conditions.
