Pitch Report:
This wicket should be batting friendly. Batters generally love playing here. You can expect scores in the range of 180-200. Surprisingly the wicket in the last match was 2 paced but most probably a fresh wicket will be used in this game.
Note: Sri Lanka will score less if they bat first.
