Most of the time Chattogram pitches are batting pitches and we have some quality batsmen and some quality spinners as well,” concluded a confident Nabi when his attention was drawn regarding facing the spin web of the host comprised with Shakib al Hasan, Nayeem Hasan, Mehedy Hasan and Taijul Islam.
