Venue: Sinhalese Sports Club Ground, Colombo.
Pitch Report
The surface at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground is a balanced one where the batters are expected to get full value for their shots. However, the track tends to slow down as the match progresses, making it difficult to bat in the second innings. Batting first should be the preferred option, with the average first-innings score at the venue being 270 runs.
