Sri Lanka was seen struggling chasing a paltry target of 147 runs during their last match owing to a slow pitch, and Vikram Rathour, who is the batting coach of Sri Lanka, said, "It's a T20 game, so obviously you come into a game, so you are looking to score as many runs as you can. So when the ball is not coming onto the bat, it's easier said than done."

New Zealand does have spinners, like skipper Mitchell Santner, who will try to adapt to the slow pitch.

Since rain won't be a spoilsport in this match, both teams will try to win their first Super 8s match and will also closely monitor how the pitch behaves under clear skies.
