LPL 2024, Qualifier 2:
Date and time: July 20; 7:30 pm Local/ 2:00 pm GMT/ 7:30 pm IST
Venue: R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
R. Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report:
The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo provides an excellent batting experience. Although the new-ball bowlers may get some early help with swing and seam movement, the pitch tends to flatten out as the game advances, turning into a paradise for run-scorers.
As the ball ages and becomes scuffed, spinners can become more effective later in the innings. This pattern has encouraged most teams to prefer chasing at this venue, taking advantage of the reliable bounce and consistent batting conditions throughout the match.
