Pallekele International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is known for its spin-friendly wicket, but batters also enjoy playing at this venue. Pakistan will have an advantage as they are already familiar with these conditions, while England will be playing their first game of the tournament in these conditions, so it’s going to be a little tricky for English players.
The chances of rain are quite high, but we can expect a few-over game. If this match is also washed out, Pakistan’s chances for the semi-finals will get quite low.
