Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) says that the second ODI between Sri Lanka and Pakistan at Sooriyawewa stadium will be open to the public for free of charge.
Manager- Media & Communications of SLC Rajith Fernando says that the stadium will be open for public on 26 August, except the main pavilion and the Grand Stand.
Meanwhile, the SLC further says that all tickets purchased for the second ODI which was to be played at R. Premadasa Stadium on the 27 August, will be refunded from the 2 September to 10 September.
According to Fernando, the decision has been taken to conduct the 2nd ODI in Hambanthota due to the bad weather condition in Colombo.
Issuing a statement he says “This decision was taken on a request from the National Curator where he had confirmed that the ground will not be fit to play the 2nd ODI in Colombo on the 27 August. Due to the continuous bad weather condition the ground is soggy and the pitch is not in good playing condition since it has been covered for the last few days. Three days of sunshine will be needed to bring back the ground to a normal condition,”
