These tracksalso have some bounce on them, which means that pacers in the powerplay and early in the first inning can trouble batters. There are also a couple of pitches here that rough up a little quickly, making the matches played on them dictated by spinners. The stadium in Pallekele is a big one. The square boundaries are well over 70m long, about 72m in length, while the straight boundaries can go as far as 80m away from the batters.
