Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh: R Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report

The surface at the R. Premadasa Stadium offers a balanced contest, and batters will enjoy facing the pacers, as they can score runs with ease. However, the main challenge for batting at this venue is the spinners. They have found much more success here, and most teams will be eyeing including more than two spinners in their line-up. Pacers can complement the spinners with the old ball, as cutters have proven to be effective on this surface. The average first innings total is 255 runs, and the team winning the toss would likely opt to bat first, as the surface tends to assist spinners more as the game progresses.
