After 5 matches in Hambantota, the caravan of Lanka Premier League 2022 has reached Pallekele. Kandy Falcons will take on Jaffna Kings in the 6th league game of the LPL 2022 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. The pitch will be looked at with keen interest here.

Kandy Falcons are at the top of the table, and they have won both of their games in the tournament so far. The opening pair of Pathum Nissanka and Andre Fletcher is a blessing for the side, and Carlos Brathwaite has been great with the ball. This team looks balanced on paper.

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium pitch report

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium will be hosting its first match of the Lanka Premier League 2022, and the pitches here in Pallekele have been good batting tracks that can fill some life in the competition after some tough batting conditions in the Hambantota leg.

The pitch here in Pallekele is a flat one, and there is an even bounce on the track. A fresh pitch will be used in the first match which should definitely favour the batters. With smaller boundaries and a fast outfield, there is enough help for the batters here at this very venue.

The average T20I score at this venue is 173 runs, and the recent ODI series played here between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan was a high-scoring one as well. The last T20I game at this track was played between Australia and Sri Lanka, where Sri Lanka successfully chased the target of 177 runs.

The spinners will definitely get some aid on this track as well, but it is a good batting track overall. Keeping the dew in mind, both captains can opt to chase in this match.
