Zimbabwe tour of Bangladesh 2024, 1st T20I:
Date and Time: May 3, 12:00 pm GMT/ 05:30 pm IST/ 06:00 pm local
Venue: Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram
Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch in Chattogram offers a slow pace and provides turn for spinners, although if overcast conditions prevail, seamers may find assistance with the new ball. Given the hot and humid weather typical of the subcontinent, batting second could prove advantageous on this pitch. Optimal batting conditions arise when the ball is fresh and hard, ensuring good carry on the wicket. Spinners are expected to become more influential as the match progresses. Additionally, there might be some dew in the latter part of the game, favouring the team chasing the target.
