NZ vs SL ODI World Cup 2023: Pitch Report

Pitch report by Mark Howard and Sanjay Manjrekar: "There's been heavy thunderstorms in the last two or three days. Groundsmen say it should be okay today though. Still 80% chance of precipitation. Square boundaries are not large, 67m to one side and 60m to the other. Pitch is a batting beauty. Least pace reduction off the pitch here in this World Cup which means it comes on to the bat better. Captains will be desperate to chase. Cloudy and humid right now but no rain."
