SL vs BAN 2nd T20I Weather And Pitch Today

Weather - According to AccuWeather, the weather will be breezy: a brief shower or two in the morning followed by a little rain in the afternoon. The temperature will be between 28°C-22°C and there is an 80% chance of rain during the game.

Pitch Report - Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium’s pitch stands somewhere in the middle of the batter and bowler, favoring both parties. The stadium is located in a tropical area, which makes the pitch’s surface dry and favors the batters when the ball is new in the first innings. However, due to the high water table of Ibbankatuwa Lake and the humidity in the morning, seamers get all the benefits from the pitch. As the match progresses further and the ball gets beaten, finally spinners get their chance to showcase their skills on this pitch.
