R. Premadasa Stadium Colombo Pitch Report:

R. Premadasa Stadium is known for its spin-friendly slow track, but since the chance of rain during India vs Pakistan is quite high, we might see Pacers getting swing and movement in the early overs. Overall, it’s a good wicket, both batters and bowlers are going to enjoy it, and we might see a good game between India and Pakistan.
