KHT vs CHK Match Details

Shere Bangla National Stadium Pitch Report

Chasing teams have found more success at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in BPL 2024-25. Three out of the last four matches were won by chasing teams. There has been enough assistance for seamers and pacers in the first innings. However, batting has been considerably easier in the latter stages of the matches. The team which bats first shouldn't aim for too big a total as the approach to go after the bowling from the outset could be detrimental. Keeping wickets in hand and aiming for a flourish at the end could be a good ploy.
