Honestly, I personally think the pitches are still very good for batting. It's just that high quality seam bowling has allowed Pakistan and Sri Lanka to be bundled out cheaply. with that being said, Scoreboard pressure especially in a world cup match, matters a lot. remember, last World cup Bangladesh only posted 270 odd against England and defended it(it was a knockout match for them). Weather is expected to be cloudy throughout the day so seam movement and swing will definitely come into play. It may be worth considering an extra seamer.
