Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch progressively decelerates as the match unfolds at Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium and tends to favour spin bowlers. Nonetheless, batters can amass significant runs by spending some time at the crease. The team winning the coin toss would likely choose to bat first at this ground.
