The average first innings total at this ground happens to be 325, which tells that the team that bats first will need to score at least 350-370 runs to stay in the game.

A first-innings lead will be crucial because if we go by the trend in most of the grounds in Sri Lanka, the scores keep decreasing, with the average fourth innings total at the Sinhalese Sports Club being 182.

An interesting fact about this ground is that the conditions get better in the second innings, which is evident by the fact that the average second innings total at this venue is 351.

Having said that, it should not deter teams from the reality that the nature of the majority of the surface makes batting difficult as the match progresses.

Both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will have to keep that in mind and not solely depend on the record that this ground possesses.

The venue has hosted 45 matches of the longest format of the games, and it has been an even contest as far as the result of the matches won by batting and bowling first is concerned.

Out of the 45 Test matches played at this ground, 16 have been won by the team batting first, while 15 games have been won by the chasing team.

That is the reason why teams might not pay attention to the record of this ground to a great extent and go by what the surface has to offer come the second and final Test between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Sri Lanka might opt to offer a spin-friendly track for the decider, unlike a good batting wicket in the first game, which ended in a draw.

Conclusion

Sri Lanka would like to win the second Test in Colombo and avoid a rare series loss at home.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, will hope to replicate the performance they delivered in the first Test and clinch the first-ever series win against Sri Lanka in the longest format of the game.
