Galle International Stadium Pitch Report for SL vs PAK Test

Sri Lanka is all ready to host a two-match test series against Pakistan starting from July 16th to July 28th. This two-match series will be a part of the World Test Championship 2022-2023.  The first Test will be held at the Galle International Stadium from July 16 to 20, whereas the second will then be held at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo from July 24-28.

A while ago, Sri Lanka also hosted a multi-format series against Australia which also included a two-match Test series where Sri Lanka was outplayed in the first, only to bounce back strongly and level the series 1-1.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s most recent Test series have been against Australia at home. The very first two games of the series were drawn, and even though Australia won the series with a brilliant performance in the final match.

Since having arrived in the island state, Pakistan has played a warm-up game against the Sri Lanka Cricket XI. The warm-up game ended in a tie.

Sri Lanka will have its side led by Dimuth Karunaratne. They were outstanding in the second Test, also with spinners ramping up. Dinesh Chandimal, a seasoned campaigner, set the standard with a terrific double ton. They will look to maintain their winning streak in the latest instalment against Pakistan.

Pakistan’s fifty-run scorers were Babar Azam, Abdullah Shafique, and Agha Salman. The bowlers have struck beautifully and will be excited to continue their form in the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka. They’ll have to be on their toes when they face Sri Lanka on the island’s shores.

Galle International Stadium Test Records and Stats:

With a good hold at the pitch, teams can easily grab runs in this venue. A total of 39 matches have been played on this pitch with an average of 361 runs while batting first. Teams batting first have won a total of 21 times in this venue and teams chasing have won a minimum of 12 times. The highest runs a team has scored on this pitch was a match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh with a massive score of 638/10 (196 overs).

Galle International Stadium Pitch Report:

The pitch at Galle International Stadium is naturally loose. Because the ball seems to grip off of the surface, spinners will continue to play a significant role when bowling on this ground. Batters would have to stay alert while swinging the bat on this surface. Once set, they can begin voluntarily playing their blows to the ball.

Weather Forecast:

The temperature throughout Galle is estimated to range somewhere between 26 and 30 degrees Celsius on the first day of the Test. Within the next five days, the weather will remain excellent for a test match.
