Pitch
This is the first match of the Asia Cup 2023 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, so a fresh pitch is on the cards. Out of the 141 ODIs played here, the stats lean in favour of the teams batting first. They've clinched victory 76 times, while the chasing teams have emerged victorious 55 times. Eight matches have concluded without a result. The pitch here is renowned for its balanced nature. An average first-innings score of 225 underlines that batters need to be patient, settle in, and then take charge. The highest score of 375 here shows the potential for big runs, while the lowest of 86 stands as a stark reminder of the dangers this pitch can pose when conditions are exploited. Spinners have historically dominated this turf. Their dominance, especially during the middle overs, has often swung games. Batters need to be watchful against the turning ball before they unleash. While history suggests batting first is the way to go, the overcast skies could tempt captains to roll the dice and bowl. If the team batting first gets north of 250 on this track, they'll be sitting pretty.
