LPL 2022: Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium Pitch Report

This wicket will host the first 6 games of the LPL 2022. In this wicket, we might see some pace early on but as soon as the tournament progress it will become very sluggish. Spinners would love to bowl at this surface as it is very slow.

The toss winners should opt to bat first on this surface. Once the batting first team reaches the score of 140-150 it will be a very challenging task to chase at this surface.
