The pitches here are mostly quite flat, which allows batters to play their shots freely and score some boundaries. These tracksalso have some bounce on them, which means that pacers in the powerplay and early in the first inning can trouble batters. There are also a couple of pitches here that rough up a little quickly, making the matches played on them dictated by spinners. The stadium in Pallekele is a big one. The square boundaries are well over 70m long, about 72m in length, while the straight boundaries can go as far as 80m away from the batters.
