Type:
Typically a balanced surface, favoring both batters and bowlers at different phases.
Initial Phase:
Early assistance for fast bowlers due to moisture, especially in the first hour of play. The ball tends to swing under overcast conditions.
Middle Overs:
As the pitch dries out, it becomes more conducive to batting, with good bounce and pace.
Spin Impact:
Spinners usually come into play in the second half of the match. On Day 3 or 4 in Tests, the pitch often deteriorates, assisting turn and uneven bounce.
Weather Conditions Impact
Rain is common in Kandy, and the area experiences heavy cloud cover, which can aid swing bowlers. Interruptions are frequent during the monsoon season.
DLS (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern) method often comes into play in ODIs and T20Is due to rain disruptions.
Record Summary
In ODIs and T20Is, teams batting first have often found success as the pitch tends to slow down later.
