Lanka Premier League today match pitch report: Pallekele International Stadium pitch report batting or bowling for LPL 2022 matches

A total of 10 matches have been played in the Lanka Premier League so far, and a couple of matches will be played on Tuesday. Both of these matches will be played at Pallekele’s Pallekele International Stadium, and it will be interesting to see how the pitch will behave.

Dambulla Aura will take on Kady Falcons in the afternoon game. The Dambulla side is still searching for its first win, and this is almost a do-or-die game for them, whereas the Kandy Falcons have won 3 of their 4 games so far in the tournament.

Galle Gladiators and Colombo Stars will take on each other in the evening match, and this match can be a tricky one as both of them have some really good players in their ranks. This match can be a close one to watch out for.

The pitches in Pallekele have been brilliant for batting so far as compared to the pitches in Hambantota. A total of 5 matches have been played in Pallekele in this tournament, and the batters have certainly loved their time out there in the middle so far. Again the same can be expected for the matches on Tuesday as well.

The pitches have been flat here, and there is an even amount of bounce that has favoured the batters. Even the boundaries of this stadium are not that large, so it has been relatively easier for the batters to score boundaries. The average 1st innings score in LPL at this stadium has been 178 runs, which suggests that it is a good batting wicket.

Out of 5 matches, four of them have been won by the teams batting first, which means that chasing has been tough here. The pitch is excellent for batting in the initial overs, and it gets slow as the match goes on. The pacers enjoy bowling in the 1st innings, and the spinners play their part in the 2nd one.
