R. Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report:

The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo offers a balanced pitch that is generally flat in nature, providing consistent bounce early on. However, as the match progresses, the surface tends to deteriorate, favouring spinners due to slower and grippier conditions. This will make spin bowling a significant factor in the middle overs. Pace bowlers are likely to get limited assistance from swing or seam on this subcontinental track, especially under day-night conditions.
