The toss is going to play an important in the result of each and every match of LPL T20 as we had observed in the previous matches. According to our toss prediction, the team who will win the toss will elect to bat first as chasing had been difficult in the most recent matches of LPL.

The 2nd match of Lanka Premier League is going to be held at the R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 185 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast for Colombo is good for this cricket match. There are almost no chances of rain in the region and we are hopeful that we will have a full match to enjoy.
