Match Details

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Pallekele International Stadium offers a balanced surface that favours both batters and bowlers. Fast bowlers are likely to have the early advantage, as the pitch helps the bowlers to be able to exploit swing and seam movement while the ball is fresh and the surface is relatively harder into the game. However, as the ball gets old, the conditions are expected to become more batter-friendly, allowing batters to score runs more easily.
