SL vs NEP: Central Broward Regional Park Pitch Report:

Central Broward Regional Park offers a balanced surface that benefits both bowlers and batters. Early in the game, the wicket is conducive to batting, providing favourable conditions for scoring. However, as the match progresses, the pitch slows down, making it challenging for batters to time their shots accurately, thereby bringing bowlers into play.

The team winning the toss is likely to bat first at this venue.
