sports report

R. The playing field of Premadasa Stadium is suitable for spin. Due to the bowl’s twist and bounce, there is an opportunity for good spin and competitive batsmen to get the upper hand. Also, the difference in the speed level of the outfield from the playing field to the boundary line is small. Therefore, not only batsmen can get benefit. However, pursuing a spin-friendly or game-oriented goal can be very challenging. The captain of the team winning the resulting toss can defend the target by batting first.

Is the encounter canceled due to rain?

Meanwhile, despite the match being washed out due to rain, Sri Lanka (-0.200) reached the finals due to better net run-rate than Pakistan (-1.892). Currently, Sri Lanka is ranked second in the Super 4 quality table. Or the properties of both the compounds are 2-2. If the match is cancelled, 1 point will be given. Therefore, the qualities of Pakistan and Sri Lanka will remain similar again. At that time, on the basis of net run rate, Sri Lanka reached the last wicket.
