R. Premadasa Stadium has hosted three matches in this World Cup so far, with an almost equal split in wickets between spin, 20, and pace, 21. More overs of spin have been bowled and scoring against it has not been easy, particularly with the long boundaries around the ground. Pakistan have fielded as many as five spin options in their XI during this tournament, all capable of completing their full quota. While Agha hopes that the surface plays to their advantage, he expects the fast bowlers to play a part.
