Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh: R Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report
The surface in the first ODI behaved on the slower side. Batters were able to score some runs in the powerplay, but in the middle overs, spinners made it tough as there was plenty of grip and turn on offer. Sri Lanka still managed to post a par total. Bangladesh had a good start against the pacers, but the spinners were too much to handle, leading to their collapse. The average first innings total in the last 10 ODIs is 265, and the team that wins the toss would likely opt to bat first, as the surface tends to get slower as the innings progresses.
