Pitch Report: How will the pitch of Pallekele Stadium be?
This match will be played on a new pitch. It is believed that this pitch for batting is expected to be better than the pitch used between England and Sri Lanka on Sunday. According to England captain Brooke, we did not have any problem with the pitch in the last match, but it was a little slow. At the same time, according to in-form Pakistani opener Farhan Sahibzada, we saw in the Sri Lanka-England match that the ball was gripping and England was struggling against spin. Sri Lanka have one or two spinners but we have a total of 5 (Nawaz, Sam, Abrar, Usman, Shadab), so we will give a tough fight to England on a pitch which is looking good and will grip.
