Pitch Report

The pitch at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium provides good bounce and pace, favouring batsmen who play straight and can score freely during the power-play. However, in the previous match, bowlers dominated, with spinners performing well in the first innings and fast bowlers having a greater impact in the second. Initially, batting was challenging, but as the match progressed, batters found the surface increasingly helpful.
