SL vs PAK Pitch Report:
Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla, is a fantastic cricket venue with a well-maintained pitch. Teams winning the toss often prefer to bowl first, as the surface offers assistance. Fast bowlers thrive, particularly in the middle overs, when the pitch slows down. As it wears, pacers generate more movement and bounce, making batting challenging and increasing wicket-taking opportunities.
