IND vs SL T20i match Preview:-
India and Sri Lanka will meet again in a bilateral T20I series at Pallekele on July 27. Last year, these two teams played a bilateral T20I series in 2022-23 when Sri Lanka visited India and the series was won by the Indian team with a huge margin of 2-1.
Now, the Sri Lankan Lions will once again roar in front of the Indian Tigers but this time the stadium is their backyard and they have a slight advantage over the Indian team.
However, this Indian team has been successful as a visiting team and has won numerous overseas white-ball series against tougher opponents like England, Australia and South Africa compared to Sri Lanka.
However, Sri Lanka has always been a tough team to beat, especially in home conditions, and the newly appointed coach of the Indian team, Gautam Gambhir, knew that very well. That is why he has called up all his experienced players for this series.
The first match of this 2024 SL-IND T20I series will be played at the Pallekele Stadium and the wickets may be in the balance, but this is Sri Lanka and you can’t take spinners out of a cricket match here. That means Captain Surya and co will need to be wary of Sri Lanka’s clever spinners.

IND vs SL T20i match Pitch Report: Sri Lanka – India T20I Series 2024
The pitch at Pallekele Cricket Stadium is known to be a well-balanced surface that helps both batsmen and bowlers.
There is a huge water reservoir close to this stadium, so the humidity is high early on and the sticky wicket is wet, meaning fast bowlers can get some time here.
But once the sparkle of the fresh ball fades, batsmen find it easier to score runs.
The pitch at this place slows down as the game advance, which is where the spinners come into play.
Due to the slow pitch, spinners dominate the rest of the match here.
