SL vs AUS: Colombo Pitch Report
The pitch at R. Premadasa Stadium has always given an edge to the spin bowlers, offering good bounce and turns. In the power play, batting seems to be easier since the pitch has fewer cracks. However, as the match advances, the surface starts to wear out, making it harder to bat. This gives an advantage to the team that bats first, so the captain winning the toss usually prefers to bat first here.
