Pitch and Weather Report
The ground in Pallekele is not suitable for the batters and shot selection would play a vital role in the gameplay. Spinners will receive the most help from this surface. The skipper winning the toss will choose to bat first as the pitch tends to become slower as the game progresses.
There is almost no chance of rain, at least for this day, although just like on other days clouds will be present over the area. The temperature will be around 28 degrees Celsius that day.
