Pitch report
The Pallekele stadium’s pitch usually benefits batters. Bowlers can mix up their pace to gain an advantage as the match progresses. A target of about 170 runs is generally seen as competitive for teams batting first at this venue. However, the evening dew factor often makes teams prefer chasing, as it can complicate bowling in the latter part of the game. Hence as seen in the first T20I game, the pitch was sluggish in nature which will tempt the skippers to bat first after winning the toss.
