Match Details: SL vs BAN
- Date: July 10 (Thursday)
- Time: 7:00 PM IST
- Venue: Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele
Pitch & Weather Report: SL vs BAN
Pitch: The pitch at Pallekele International Stadium favours both batsmen and bowlers. Fast bowlers may get swing and seam movement in the initial overs, but as the ball gets older, batting will be easier, and there will be more opportunities to score runs & boundary hitting.
Forecast: Cloudy, 70-75% rain chance, humidity 85%. Scattered showers are possible, but are likely to clear by 7:00 PM IST start.
Impact: Cloudy skies help pacers get early wickets; spinners benefit more from humid conditions. There is a possibility of a slight delay in play due to rain.
