Pitch Report according to previous Records:

The pitch at R Premadasa Stadium has favored spin bowlers. It provides great assistance to slow bowlers as the game progresses, making it tough for batters to navigate, particularly in the later stages of matches. The surface frequently deteriorates during the game, resulting in unpredictable bounces and spins that pose a severe test of skill for batsmen. With visible spots on the track, batting becomes considerably more difficult because you don’t know how the ball will react after it hits the crack. In shorter formats, the bounce is similar on both sides, but in longer formats, the pitch plays tricks.

Official Live Pitch Report:

Russel Arnold: Dry pitch on once again. We will have a similar game. Fresh pitch though. The groundsman has used the scissors to take out any grass. More cracks visible. Along with the turn it, can spit at you. It can be little more challenging for the batsmen. You got to be boring to get the runs here.
