Impact on Play

The combination of 56% to 70% humidity and cloud cover on Days 1 and 2 could offer new-ball fast bowlers such as Taskin Ahmed and Shamar Joseph a useful opportunity to generate swing during early sessions.

From Day 3 onwards, clearer skies and intense heat may dry out the Mirpur surface more rapidly. As the pitch wears, spinners could become increasingly influential. Day 2 is the main weather concern, although the actual number of overs lost will depend on the timing and duration of any showers or thunderstorms.
