What you will see
Sylhet is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 17:11:26 local time, the Moon hides 1.4% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 16:53:43 and ends at 17:28:52, 35 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 18° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Sylhet.

The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is El Dibir, about 4,512 km west, where totality lasts 3 m 26 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
