Stadiums

Asgiriya Stadium (Kandy)
Evenly Balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
​

---

Galle International Stadium (Galle)
Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.
​

---

Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium (Hambantota)
Evenly Balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
​

---

P Sara Oval (Colombo)

​

---

Pallekele International Stadium (Kandy)
Evenly Balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
​

---

R.Premadasa Stadium (Colombo)
Evenly Balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
​

Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium (Dambulla)
Dusty - Plenty of turn on offer for spinners and a good place to bat for spin-savvy batsmen. Good pace bowlers are still likely to thrive.
​

Singhalese Sports Club (Colombo)
Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on.​
