Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh: Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report
The surface at the R. Premadasa Stadium is a typical subcontinent pitch, with spinners running the show. Pacers tend to get targeted, as batters find it easier to score off them. The dry nature of the pitch helps spinners in the middle overs, and it slows down further as the innings progresses. This often leads captains to choose to bat first on such a surface. A par score of 265 runs is usually more than enough to defend here.

The weather reports suggest that there will be overcast conditions throughout the day. Drizzle delays may affect the toss time, as brief rain is expected for at least an hour. Later in the evening, the temperature is expected to remain warm, hovering around 30–31 degrees Celsius in the area. Frequent showers could cause the surface to slow down further, which would be more advantageous to the spinners.
