Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Pitch Report

The boundaries of the Sharjah Cricket Stadium are not very large, and the pitch here is quite true and typically flat, but it can also play a bit slow when spinners are present. Batsmen generally enjoy batting here, and the team that wins the toss is expected to bat first if no dew is expected to fall in the second half.
