Pitch and Weather Report

The pitch at Colombo promises an intriguing contest, offering early movement for seamers with the new ball while favouring spinners as it wears down. Though chances of unexpected turn here are limited, slower bowlers can exploit the lack of pace. Once a batsman settles in, ample scoring opportunities await for him.

Expect a cloudy day with a 20% chance of rain, while the temperature fluctuates between a comfortable 29 and 27 degrees.
