Sheikh Zayed Stadium Pitch Report

Fast bowlers might find an initial edge during the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2025 match, as the pitch at Sheikh Zayed Stadium offers bounce. But for the same reason, and since the ball carries well on the surface, batsman who manage to keep their wicket can play long and big. The dew is also expected to play a big factor, making stroke play smoother with the ball coming better to the bat. So, batting second here might be an advantage.
