CS vs GM Pitch Report
The pitch at Pallekele is expected to provide a balanced contest between bat and ball. Under lights, fast bowlers should get some early swing and seam movement with the new ball, notably in the powerplay.
Spinners and bowlers using slower deliveries can still be effective in the middle overs by varying their pace. With dew conditions is expected to become a factor, chasing will be more effective.
