Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report:
The Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium pitch gradually becomes sluggish during the course of the game and tends to provide an advantage to spin bowlers. Nevertheless, batters can amass substantial runs by occupying the crease for a considerable period. The team that wins the coin toss would likely opt to bat first.
