R Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report:

Bat and ball matches at Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium have always been evenly matched. Teams that bat first have won nine of the 16 WODIs played here. Batters will appreciate the ball hitting the bat nicely in the early going. It is anticipated that the pitch would resemble the last one. Spinners will be used when the pitch wears and the ball becomes softer. It could be crucial to win the toss and bat first.
