Team India and Pakistan are expected to come to blows in the upcoming meeting of the Asia Cup 2023 tourney. Both teams have provided electrifying contests for quite a long time now. Meanwhile, the fans are eager to know some information about the Pallekele international cricket stadium pitch report, T20I records, and weather forecast. You’ll find all these relevant details below.

It is well-known that these two heavyweights are clashing with each other only in the ICC and ACC events. They haven’t played a bilateral series since 2012, owing to a strained relationship between the two nations. However, the entertainment quotient gets amplified to the core when they meet at marquee events. The upcoming fixture between India and Pakistan will be held at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Kandy (Sri Lanka).

The stadium was officially opened on November 27, 2009. It was constructed as part of the nation’s endeavors to broaden its infrastructure in a bid to host international cricket matches. So far, it has hosted 9 Tests, 37 ODIs and 23 T20Is. The venue has a capacity of 35,000. Sri Lanka’s most important stadium is equipped with modern facilities such as hospitality suites, and media centers followed by training amenities and practice grounds.

Pallekele ODI Records

For the record, Pallekele International Cricket Stadium has hosted 37 ODIs so far since its first ODI in 2011. Take a glimpse at how the ODI fixtures have fared here.

Total matches played: 37

Matches won by the team batting first: 15

Matches won by the team bowling first: 21

Biggest total batting first: South Africa – 363/7 in 50 overs against Sri Lanka (Result: South Africa won by 78 runs).

Lowest total recorded: Zimbabwe – 70 (all out) vs. Sri Lanka (Result: Sri Lanka won by 184 runs)

Biggest total chased: Sri Lanka chased down 314 against Afghanistan

Lowest total defended: Sri Lanka (220/9) restricted Australia to 189 (Result: Sri Lanka won by 26 runs based on the D/L Method).

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

In the 37 ODIs played at this venue, the average 1st innings total has been 248, whereas the average second innings score is 201. The teams that have bowled first have won 21 games. On the other hand, the teams that have batted first have won 15 games. The pitch at Pallekele has been traditionally good for batting.

However, at the same time, it can also help the pacers with some movement early on in the game. One should note that the venue is at a higher altitude as compared to the venues in the Provinces of the country. As a result, this leads to cooler temperatures and the conditions seem to be much favorable conditions for fast bowlers.

Pallekele Weather

The highly-anticipated match will kick off on September 2, Saturday at 3:00 PM IST at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka. As per the weather forecast department, the temperature of Pallekele City on the match day will be 28 degrees Celcius during the day and fall to 22 degrees Celcius at night time. The weather report states that it will be cloudy throughout the day and night. Unfortunately, the chances of rain are 80% during the day and 75% at night. As a result, the upcoming fixture is more likely to be affected by rain.
