Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele

On this track, both captains will want to bowl first because, with chasing teams winning the majority of their recent games, no target is secure. 

Forecasters predict that Pallekele’s match day will be dismal and dark, with rain delays likely. Rain forced the cancellation of all three games at this location the day before. 

Pallekele will have considerable bounce and carry, making it a good track to bat. Early on in the game, bowlers may experience some seam movement, but as the game goes on, the surface will become softer.
