Galle International Stadium Pitch Report:

Galle International Stadium has long been a spinner’s heaven, with its dry surface increasing as testing progresses. Early on, batsmen can expect decent bounces and carry, ideal for building a fair amount of total for the first two days. However, the pitch tends to deteriorate rapidly, developing cracks and rough patches that lead the spinner into the game with impulses and unpredictable bounces. Given these conditions, the captain usually chooses the bat first and tries to take advantage of the best batting conditions before the surface becomes a spinner paradise.
