Reeza Hendricks: My time has been good here so far. Love to contribute to my team, lovely country, have enjoyed my time here. Can't complain. The schedule has been demanding. I have been here in the past. it's always nice to come back here. In Dambulla, we stayed in a nice little resort. Couple more things to do here in Colombo. The conditions are a lot different here. In Dambulla, we saw high-scoring games. Here the scores are on the lower side. Adjustments have to be made. Spin friendly and slower as well, our approach will be different. I have enjoyed the team. It's a big squad, the group has been really good. Lot of young guys and a couple of experienced players as well. You make friends from different conditions.
Pitch Report | Farveez Maharoof: "Not enough time to prepare the pitch and hence the same pitch. Looking at the colour and moisture, it's sluggish. The spinners will come into play. Dambulla will have the advantage. Jaffna's top-order succumbed against Shadab Khan. Playing the ball on its merit is going to be important. Team who does the basics well will end up on the winning side."
