Asia Cup Super Four Match 5: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka
Date : 14th September 2023
Time: 3:00 P.M
Venue: R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Pitch Report:
The surface at Premadasa Stadium has historically benefited spinners, but because of its rapid outfield and relatively compressed boundary lines, it also offers some help to batsman.
Although chasing is challenging on this type of surface, there is also a chance that the toss winner may elect to bat first because the bowling under the lights has been good as seen in the past two games on this ground.
