Pak vs SL, Pitch report
The Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium has witnessed numerous high-scoring encounters, making it a favorable ground for batsmen. In the two warm-up matches held here, both innings saw scores exceeding 300. However, the pitch displayed some trickery during the Netherlands vs. Pakistan match, with Shadab Khan’s deliveries turning viciously in the second innings. While batsmen are expected to enjoy the conditions, Sri Lanka may need to adapt to a less batting-friendly pitch compared to their game in Delhi against South Africa in the ODI World Cup 2023.
