pitch report
In Pallekele, both the teams can win the toss and decide to bowl first. Chasing the target for the team playing later can be a bit easier and for this reason the team playing first will have to keep an eye on the score above 280. The pitch may help the fast bowlers initially. However, there is every possibility of rain disrupting the match and the match may even be cancelled.
