Pitch and conditions
The average first innings score of the last five List-A games here is 267 runs, higher than usual at this ground. Pitches have been unpredictable in this series, so teams may prefer to bat first. Five out of eight sides who have batted first in 2018 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium have pressed onto win games.
