Pitch Report

The surface at R. Premadasa Stadium is traditionally well-balanced, providing a fair contest between bat and ball. Pacers are expected to extract some movement in the early stages, while spinners are likely to come into play as the match progresses. Notably, in the three T20 World Cup 2026 matches played at this venue so far, the team batting first has emerged victorious on each occasion. Consequently, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt to bat first.
