The Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium has been a hotspot for high-scoring games in the LPL 2024 season. Teams batting first have seen some impressive totals in the early games, but teams batting second have been more successful this season. Given the scoring-friendly nature of the stadium, it’s common for captains to opt for fielding first if they win the toss.
