Tanzid Hasan and Jaker Ali were the star performers in the batting segment, scoring their respective half-centuries, and Taskin Ahmed took four wickets in his bowling spell. Pitch Report The R. Premadasa Stadium has always been an ideal surface for the spin bowlers. The longer the match, the more the ball turns and bounces unpredictably. The team batting first typically scores between 230 and 240. But with Sri Lanka playing well, they must look to score at least 250 runs if they are to bat first. Weather Report The weather could be slightly cloudy with the temperature between 27 degrees to 31 degrees. There is a slight chance of rain predicted in tomorrow's game, but the game should proceed largely without any issues.
