Pitch Report

The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy presents a neutral wicket that offers assistance to both bowlers and batters in this opening match of the series.

Key Pitch Characteristics

✔ Dry Surface with Cracks – The pitch is expected to be dry, which means spinners will play a crucial role as the match progresses.
✔ Pacers Get Early Help – Fast bowlers may find some movement early on, especially with the new ball.
✔ Batters Need Patience – Unlike flat tracks, this surface won’t allow free-flowing strokeplay consistently. Batters will have to work hard for runs.
✔ Average Score Around 168 – A competitive total, but not a high-scoring run-fest.
