Pallekele International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report for SL vs AFG ODI

The Pallekele pitch has witnessed some high-scoring games. Similar to a typical Asian pitch, the surface here is favorable for batsmen. Pacers might find assistance in the initial overs, but as the game progresses, the pitch tends to become even better for batting.

Spin bowlers will play a crucial role in the middle overs. In ODI matches, the toss may not have a big impact here. However, if Afghanistan wins the toss, they are likely to opt for batting first, as they rely more on their bowling strength. They have the ability to defend a total against top sides.

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium Last ODI Match Scorecard

The last ODI match at Pallekele featured India facing Nepal during the Asia Cup 2023. The match was affected by rain after Nepal’s 48 overs, resulting in the implementation of the DLS method. India’s revised target was 147 runs in 23 overs, which they achieved with 17 balls to spare and without losing any wickets.

Nepal: 230-10 (48.2) India: 147-0 (20.1)
