Pitch Report for Australia Legends vs Sri Lanka Legends
We saw plenty of runs scored by India in the first match. The pitch is a batting paradise. It is very true to its nature and you get value for your shots. But if you bowl in right areas, you would get turn from this wicket. The ball swings initially in first few overs. The average first innings score in the last 5 T20s played before this tournament was around 160.
Toss won’t be such a major factor as the pitch remains same throughout the 40 overs. But teams winning the toss would look to bowl first and exploit the conditions in the initial overs.

Thus, Sri Lanka Legends have an edge over Australia Legends in this contest which would likely be tightly fought.
