IND vs SL Pitch Report
The pitch of Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram is considered helpful for bowlers. In the last match, Renuka Singh had proved this by taking 4 wickets and Deepti Sharma by taking 3 wickets. However, in the second innings, Shafali Verma turned the match completely in India’s favor by playing an explosive inning of 79 runs.
