As the pitch is devoid of grass, the fast bowlers struggle a lot in the early days and hence the team that wins the toss at Zahur Ahmed Cricket ground usually decides to bat first to put up a winning score in the scorecard. The average 1st innings score is 350+ in Test matches. The bowlers have to be patient and consistent and by the 3rd and 4th innings, the footmarks of the previous day bowlers make the situation better, and the batsmen start struggling to spin bowlers which is the reason for the steep fall in the average scores. As of now 12 test matches played in last 10 years out of which 6 matches won by team batting first and 4 matches won by the team bowling first and 2 matches went with draw.The bowlers have to bowl a lot to get rewards but as the days pass, though the wicket gets flatter, the spin bowlers can help decrease the run rates.
