IND-W vs BAN-W Asia Cup Semi-Final: Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium Pitch Report
The dry surface at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium could be two-paced; meaning it can help both spinners and pacers, if they bowl smartly.
Additionally it might help spinners as they will get significant turn throughout the game. The pacers will employ their cutters and slow balls to succeed. However, anything loose at pace will likely be dispatched to the stands.
Since it's an afternoon clash, the track is expected to get slower with time hence, it is expected that the toss-winning captain will opt to bat first.
