While possibilities to see a rank turner are increasing gradually, a Sri Lanka Cricket official shared updates on the possible nature of the wicket for the India vs Sri Lanka second and series-deciding Test match. The match will start on August 23, with a couple of days in hand; the nature of the pitch is actually kept under cover, but a balanced pitch is possible.
Before lunch on Day 5 of the first Test, when the ball was rough and the wicket was dry, the spin rate decreased visibly. As there was very little spin from the deck, the emerging Indian spinner, Manav Suthar, who took 10 wickets in the match, cut the tail of the Sri Lankan batting order by mixing up his pace. Instead of depending only on the spin, the spinner increased his pace a bit to trick the batter.

As the Sri Lanka National Cricket Team has multiple quality batters like Dinesh Chandimal, Pathum Nissanka, and Kusal Mendis, the cricket board does not want to completely dilute the batters' chances to score runs by producing a dustbowl.
A rank turner is also possible in the Colombo Test
The official also clarified that all the surfaces of the pitch depend on the requirement of the pitch. If the team feels confident to play on a rank turner, then SLC will prepare a rank turner in Colombo so that the home team could have a slight advantage over the Indian cricket team.
“Of course, it all depends on what the team finally wants for the match, you know, something that gives them the best chance to win and draw the series,” the official added.
