The pitch at R. Premadasa Stadium in Khettarama offers a favorable surface for batters in Women’s ODI matches. With an average first-innings score of 244, teams often enjoy high-scoring starts.

Tri-Nation Series 2025: Final: India vs Sri Lanka – Weather Report
Light rain and dense cloud cover have created heavily overcast conditions, making it an ideal setup for swing bowlers to get early movement. The high humidity of 82% is likely to help spinners later on, making it harder for batters to execute big shots against spin. Additionally, strong winds blowing at 8.75 m/s add another layer of difficulty, making aerial strokes risky and tough to control.
