Sinhalese Sports Club Play Report:
The Sinhalese Sports Club de Colombo pitch is traditionally known for being friendly in the early stages of a test game, offering a good pace and transportation for the batters. As the game progresses, the surface tends to slow down, putting the spinners into play, especially since the third day. Cites may find help with the new ball, but the real challenge for the batters usually arises as cracks develop and the pitch begins to offer more twist and variable rebound. Teams that win the launch usually prefer to beat first to take advantage of the best battle conditions before the surface deteriorates. Wait for an area that rewards patience and skill, both with spinners and pacers, they probably play a role as the party unfolds.
