Match State: Match scheduled to start at 14.30 local time (12.30 gmt)
Welcome to Paarl where SL have won the toss and will bat
A good batting pitch, no real grass, and very hard
Kirsten out for Dippenaar, due to an injured finger
At the moment it is warm but cloudy with a 20km SW breeze blowing
No rain predicted
Only excitement, other than the cricket, is a total lunar eclipse
is expected between 20:00 and 22:00 local time
The pitch is hard and no real grass, should be a good batting pitch
with little seam movement
Winning the toss has been a factor in Paarl and could help Sri
Lanka
