SL vs PAK Today’s 1st T20I Match, Pitch Report :

The Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium pitch is generally slow and low, assisting spinners while offering limited pace for fast bowlers. Batters need timing and patience, especially early in the innings. In T20s, first-innings scores around 150–160 are competitive, but teams chasing totals can struggle if spinners dominate. Toss-winning teams often prefer to bat first to set a defendable total under lights.
