Pitch Report
The pitch at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is known for its balance, offering assistance to both batsmen and bowlers. Initially, the new ball comes onto the bat nicely, allowing batsmen to play their shots freely. However, as the match progresses, spinners tend to dominate, particularly on Wednesday, as the older ball can grip and turn on the surface, posing challenges for the batsmen.
