SL-U19 vs WI-U19, Pitch Report
The pitch at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium is generally considered batting-friendly, with a flat, hard surface that offers good bounce and pace. The ball comes onto the bat nicely on this pitch, making it relatively easy for batters to score runs, and stroke play can be rewarding if the batsmen can get themselves in.
However, as the game progresses, the pitch can begin to assist the spinners. There may be some turns on offer, especially later in the game, which could make it difficult for batters to score freely once spinners come into play.
