The flat surface and lightning-quick outfield at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo have made it a batsman’s paradise. The fast bowlers face difficult conditions, with little on the wicket for them.
The weather forecast for Colombo on July 18 is not promising. We may have rain, but the wicket is ideal for batting, and batsmen can easily score on this flat surface.
