India vs Srilanka ODI : Venue and The Pitch Report
The venue is R. Premadasa Stadium which is also known as “the home of Sri Lankan cricket,” is a cricket ground on Khettarama Road in the Maligawatta suburb of Colombo. The R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium was the brainchild of the late Lankan former president Ranasinghe Premadasa; therefore, it is named after him. Opened on February 2, 1986, this colossal cricket ground is the biggest cricket stadium in Sri Lanka, with a capacity of more than 35,000. The R Premadasa Stadium was formerly known as the Khettarama Stadium after 1994.
The R Premadasa Stadium pitch has mostly favored spin bowlers. It provides great assistance to slow bowlers as the game keep on going, 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 more spins that pose a severe test of skill for batting. With visible spots on the track, batting becomes considerably harder 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.
