The Dambulla pitch is generally spinner-friendly because its surface is dry and bounce is low. Therefore, scoring runs can prove to be a bit challenging for the batsmen. At the same time, spinners can play a major role because the pitch seemed very helpful for spinners in T20. Apart from this, fast bowlers can also get swing in the initial overs with the new ball. The one who wins the toss can decide to bowl first.
