RAJ vs KT Outfield Report

Sylhet International Cricket Stadium

The Sylhet International Cricket Stadium is renowned for its spinner-friendly track, especially during the middle overs, where batsmen often find it challenging to dominate. Matches at this venue in the Bangladesh Premier League frequently feature modest totals, with spinners playing a pivotal role in dictating the flow of the game.

The stadium’s tropical climate, marked by warm temperatures and high humidity, significantly impacts match dynamics. For example, during a T20I clash between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, conditions were notably humid with temperatures around 28°C and 59% humidity, factors that can affect player stamina and ball movement.

Over the years, the stadium has seen a wide range of T20 performances. The highest T20I score recorded here is 210/4 by Sri Lanka against Bangladesh, while the lowest stands at just 33 all out, a record set by Malaysia Women against Sri Lanka Women. These contrasting outcomes highlight the pitch’s unpredictable nature and the influence of match conditions.
