Pitch Report at the R. Premadasa Stadium
The R. Premadasa Stadium will help the batters. Judging from the last few games, it is a track to chase. Chasing teams have got a lot of help. Therefore, the toss-winning captain should look to field first and restrict the score to less than 150. Once the target is in sight, this track can be a joy to bat on. Especially because it is the first game of the day, bowling in daylight would be a huge advantage.
