“You still need to win a lot of the remaining games of cricket and we have five left until we know our fate. Five Test matches mean there is a lot of cricket still to be played.The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram is known for its high-scoring matches, as the pitch is a lot more conducive to stroke-play than the one they encountered in Dhaka.
Markram said on Monday they will assess the conditions, but hopes that the pitch is as good for batting as the nets they have used at the venue. “We haven’t seen the pitch yet. We will have a look at it and try workout what we can expect. Just based on the nets, there is a slightly truer bounce and a bit of pace,” Markram said.
