Mirpur vs Chittagong : The Pitch |

The pitches in Mirpur have been kind to spinners :
affording them the luxury of considerable turn and some bounce.
The brown clay in Chiitagong differs from the soil used in Mirpur :
where the clay constituent is black, and it keeps its character better throughout the day;
during the evening, the behaviour of black clay can be quite changeable

Sri Lanka can still expect runs in Mirpur Dhaka, though.
There haven't been too many low-scoring games here....Ten 150-plus scores :
Five teams have won chasing in ten games, twice in the last over.
Teams that have won batting first have won by big margins- 16, 73, 50, 73 and 84 runs.

Three of the top five wicket-takers in Mirpur have been spinners -
Amit Mishra, R Ashwin and Samuel Badree - and that was along expected lines.
Umar Gul and Al-Amin were the seamers with most wickets :
but that was more due to their variations and diligence than the pitch.

When asked about the difference between the two venues,
Sri Lanka regular captain Dinesh Chandimal had a succinct response :
"We are looking forward to Mirpur , Dhaka." :

the current crop of bowlers are smart enough to pay attention.
Don't know about the head coach, however!
