With the team batting second winning two of the last three games, Dambulla has shown itself to be an excellent place for chasing. Both captains will be eager to win the toss and field first to maintain that record.

 

Thundery thunderstorms are predicted to occur during the game on Saturday, making the weather forecast far from ideal.

 

In the T20s, the average first innings score at Dambulla is approximately 176 runs. Afghanistan’s 209 for 5 over Sri Lanka is the highest score shown here.
