Cricket latest Pitch and Outfield Conditions
The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo has already seen weather disruptions during the tournament. A recent game between Sri Lanka Women and Australia Women was called off due to continuous rain, leaving the ground soft and damp. The damp outfield and humid air could make conditions tricky for bowlers and fielders, with spinners likely to get some early grip if the match goes ahead.
Cricket latest What Captains Might Face
Both teams will have to keep DLS (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern) calculations in mind while strategising. Captains may prefer to bowl first if rain threatens, to better control the chase under revised targets.
For India, keeping momentum after a strong start to the campaign is key, while Pakistan will be desperate to secure a breakthrough win against their arch-rivals.
