Weather Report

The weather in Hambantota is expected to be hot and humid, with temperatures hovering around 32 degrees Celsius. The rain impact is minimal, ensuring a full game without interruptions.

Since it is a day match, the dew factor will not play a significant role. This means spinners will get consistent grip and turn throughout the second innings.

Pitch Report & Venue Stats

The Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium offers a balanced surface that tests both batters and bowlers. The average score here is 224 runs, indicating that batters need to apply themselves to build big totals.
