🏏ICC U19 Men's ODI WC 2024: Group C: AUS vs SL Pg 10🏏 - Page 6

Pitch Report | Tino Mawoyo and Scott Styris: 80 metres straight down the ground, square boundaries - 71 metres and 66 metres. It's pitch number 5, similar to what we had a couple of days ago. It won't be quite as abrasive as the first match. The characteristics will be the same. I like the decision to bowl first because it'll be a little slow, a little seam and maybe even a little turn. There are some differences too. Grass covering on a good length. There are a few bare patches and the colour is quite dark, which means there's some moisture in it. Some horizontal type strips. Some sill stop and stand up, others will kiss through and go to the keeper. That's why it hasn't been easy for the batsmen.

Pulindu Perera and Sineth Jayawardena are at the crease. Pulindu Perera is on strike. Junior Kariata will open the attack

The players have taken their respective positions. One slip in place and off we go.....

The players are out for the national anthems. Namibia's first, followed by Sri Lanka's. The pre-match ritual has been completed. It's action time now...
