R. Premadasa Stadium Pitch report:

Barring India’s innings against Pakistan where they scored 356, most teams including India have struggled to score big at the R. Premadasa Stadium. One can expect a similar contest in the final too. In the last Super 4 game, Bangladesh successfully defended 265 against India.

Earlier this week, India had also defended a modest total of 213 runs against Sri Lanka. The dry conditions have made it tough for the batsmen. The spinners are expected to play a crucial role once again. The last time India and Sri Lanka met in the ongoing tournament, the spinners had picked up an astonishing 16 of the 20 wickets.
