Mirpur pitch gets one demerit point after unsatisfactory rating by ICC
In the assessment by ICC match referee David Boon, concerns were raised about the pitch potentially being underprepared. He noted issues with the deliveries from spin bowlers, mentioning that they often went over the batter's shoulder when playing forward and occasionally stayed very low. New Zealand won the match by four wickets against Bangladesh to level the two-match series, thanks to Glenn Phillips' all-round performance. Demerit points remain active for a rolling five-year period and when a venue accumulates six demerit points it is suspended from staging any international cricket for 12 months.
