Weather Report
Weather gods will not be kind to cricket fans this time as well as there is a chance of rain playing the spoilsport in the 3rd T20I as well. The match was interrupted due to rain three times during the 2nd game. The average temperature will be around 29 °C while the Humidity will be at 80%.
Pitch Report
As has been the case throughout South Africa’s tour of Sri Lanka the track will have plenty to offer for slow and spin bowlers. It will be difficult for batters to negotiate spinners on the turning track of Premadasa Stadium.
However, batsmen who adapt to the conditions well will find it easier to score runs and the side batting first will look to notch up a total of somewhere around the 160-run mark.
