Probable playing XI

Pitch report

The pitch at Sylhet typically offers a fair contest in T20s. Quicker bowlers can find early movement, making the powerplay vital, and the surface slows as the innings goes on, helping spinners and cutters in the middle overs. Big shots are possible, but batters often need to spend time at the crease first. Dew can matter in evening games, though this is a daytime fixture. A total of 150–165 is often considered competitive here.

Weather

Pleasant and mostly dry conditions are expected, with clear to partly cloudy skies and temperatures of about 23–25°C. January brings very little rain to Sylhet, so interruptions look unlikely and moderate humidity will give a typical warm afternoon.

Expected scores

• 1st innings: 165–180
• 2nd innings: 155–175
