NZ vs SL: Pitch Report
Talking about the wicket, it doesn't have much for the bowlers. In the last game at this venue, the Blackcaps scored 401 against Pakistan. Even though they lost the game, their batters will enjoy batting at this wicket. Also, the ground dimensions are small which will give batters from teams the confidence to take more risks.
