ENG Vs PAK Match 45 (Super 8) 2026 T20 World Cup Pallekele International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is generally considered a high-scoring ground. The pitches here are mostly quite flat, which allows batters to play their shots freely and score some boundaries. These tracksalso have some bounce on them, which means that pacers in the powerplay and early in the first inning can trouble batters. There are also a couple of pitches here that rough up a little too quickly, making the matches played on them dictated by spinners. The stadium in Pallekele is a big one. The square boundaries are well over 70m long, about 72m in length, while the straight boundaries can go as far as 80m away from the batters.
