SL-W vs SA-W Pitch Report

The Premadasa pitch is initially flat and firm, providing good bounce and carry for the batsmen early in the match. Seamers may find some side movement on damp surfaces, especially when the sky is overcast early. However, as the game progresses, the pitch slows down considerably, giving spinners room to play and making stroke-making more difficult in the second innings. The average first innings score is around 230–240 runs—totals in this range are typically contestable in women's ODI matches at this venue.
