Pitch Report

The pitch at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium offers a well-balanced surface, providing consistent bounce and decent pace. The conditions in the power play are particularly favourable for batters, allowing them to play their shots freely. Spinners tend to be effective during the first innings. In the last match played here, Sri Lanka posted a huge total of 225 runs while batting first. After that, Oman struggled to bat in the second innings. This suggests that batting in the first innings here is a bit easier.
