BAN vs IRE pitch report from Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium:

The wicket at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium is expected to be good for batting during the first BAN vs IRE T20I, which has always been the case, with the highest total scored on this ground being 207 runs between these teams.

Your daily dose of cricket!

The batters will enjoy hitting on this surface, with the ball landing nicely on the bat, and they can also rely on the bounce, which would be even, making for a high-scoring collision.

When we talk about the record of number of wins while batting and bowling at this venue in T20I cricket, no team has a clear advantage.

Of the 33 matches played in this format at this ground, the team batting first has won 17 matches, while the chasing team has managed to win the remaining 16 matches.

However, it would be a wise decision by the captain who wins the toss to bowl first as dew could play an important role in the second innings of the match, with no chance of rain during the match.

That said, merely winning the toss will not guarantee a win for either team as they will have to bowl well and limit the opposition to an under-par total, which brings us to the question of what a good score will be if they bat first on this surface.

The average total of the first innings here is 146 runs, while the average score of the second innings is 127.

Going by the above statistics, the team batting first should aim to score 170-180 runs to stay ahead in the match.

The reason why the team should score an extra 20-25 runs over the average score in this stadium while batting first is to take into account the effect of dew in the chase, which will make batting easy.

All in all, both teams would want to put their best foot forward in an attempt to win the match and have the resources to do so.

Conclusion

Bangladesh would be keen to continue the team’s winning run against Ireland after winning the two-match Test series and would also like to see a winning start to the T20I series.

Ireland, on the other hand, would be looking to register their first win of the tour of Bangladesh and take a 1-0 lead in the T20I series.
