Pitch and Weather Condition
Senwes Park is the same place where U19 Cricket World Cup final was played last month where Bangladesh got their first ever World Cup Victory in the ICC event against India. Although, the pitch has been well known as batting friendly, the final last month set some question about it. Seeing that, we can assume, the pitch will not be on quicker side so slow bowling esp. spinner will get some turn in it.
No sign of rain is predicted, throughout the game, it is predicted to be a hot day. So we will have no interfere from the climate point of view.
