The 6th Match of the Lanka Premier League is going to be held at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele. 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 Pallekele 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.
