Toss Prediction
The venue is expected to offer a surface that will remain good for batting for the entire duration of the match. So the team that wins the toss here will more likely opt to chase..
Pitch Report : Traditionally, the pitch at Pallekele is very good for batting and the final ODI on Sunday was a proof of that where both the teams scored over 300 runs. 167 is the average first-innings score at this ground in T20Is..
Weather Report: Plenty of cloud cover can be expected throughout the game. However, the possibility of rain is extremely low and so we could still have a full forty-over contest. Temperatures are likely to be between 23 and 26 degrees Celsius…
