Final Thoughts
The Bengaluru pitches may offer seam movement early, giving fast bowlers an edge. Meanwhile, Colombo conditions could favor spin later in the day. With September’s high humidity, expect a swing under the lights. These factors make the warm-ups an ideal stage for teams to test strategies before the round-robin phase of the main tournament.
