Sri Lanka are set to face Zimbabwe in the second T20I of the three-match series on Tuesday. Having secured a 3-wicket victory in the series opener at Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium, Sri Lanka are keen to establish an unassailable 2-0 lead, while Zimbabwe are determined to stage a comeback at the same venue.

R. Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report:
The R. Premadasa Stadium is famous for its spin-friendly pitch, offering an advantage to bowlers specializing in that discipline. Additionally, the brisk outfield and relatively shorter boundaries favour batsmen. Chasing a target on this pitch may present challenges. However, given the current weather conditions, there is a possibility that the winning captain of the toss might choose to field first.
