Pitch report
The surface at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is one that is preferred by the batters. The dry pitch heavily favours the batters in the early stages of the game. However, it is known for slowing down as the game progresses, and opting to bowl first after winning the toss could be a wise decision.
