Pitch Report

The pitch at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is good for batters, and the pacers will get more help initially, and spinners will come into play later in the game. Batting will be easy in the second innings because of the dew. The toss-winning captain should opt to bowl and chase down the target in the second innings.
