Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur is a balanced T20 venue in BPL, often favoring spinners in the middle overs with slower conditions. Average first-innings scores are around 150-160, with chasing teams having a strong advantage (around 60-65% wins historically due to dew and pitch slowing down). A first-innings total of 155–165 is competitive, but dew can make chasing easier under lights.
Expert Prediction: Rangpur Riders have 52% and Noakhali Express has 48% winning chance.
