The Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium is significant cricket grounds. The ground is expanded across 60-acre land leased from the Rangiri Dambulla Temple. The idea behind building the ground was to provide a venue to conduct one-day matches throughout the year. The construction took only 167 days, and the ground officially opened its gates in 2000.

History
Construction was funded by the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka (BCCSL) and championed by the then BCCSL President, Thilanga Sumathipala. Construction took only 167 days. After construction and the inaugural match it sat idle due to complications with the lease and the contractors. International cricket finally returned in May 2003, the venue staging all seven matches of the tournament because of monsoon rains in the south.

  • The inaugural One Day International (ODI) match was played between Sri Lanka and England in March 2001.
  • Floodlights were installed in 2003.
  • This stadium hosted all the matches of the Asia Cup 2010, due to renovation of other grounds for the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
  • The stadium hosted only day matches from 2013 until late 2016.

Location
The Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium is situated in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka, near Dambulla.The ground is situated in the dry zone. It overlooks the Dambulla Tank (reservoir) and the Dambulla Rock. It comes under the dry zone of the country.

About The Pitch

Matale ringkonnast

Matale on linn Sri Lanka mägises piirkonnas. Knucklesi mäestik on Matale eriline maamärk. Matale halduspiirkonnas asuvad ka ajalooline Sigiriya kaljuloss, Aluvihare tempel ja Dambulla koopatempel. Linna ümbritsevad Knucklesi jalamid, mida nimetatakse Wiltshire'iks. See on peamiselt põllumajanduspiirkond, kus domineerivad tee-, kautšuki-, köögivilja- ja vürtsikasvatus.

Linna põhjaküljel asuv Aluvihare tempel on ajalooline koht, kus paali kaanon esmakordselt täielikult ola (palmi) lehtedele kirja pandi. Aluvihare lähedal asub arvukalt kloostrikoopaid, millest mõnes on kaunid freskod.

Keskprovintsist

Sri Lanka keskprovints koosneb peamiselt mägisest maastikust. Provintsi pindala on 5674 km² ja rahvaarv 2 421 148. Mõned suuremad linnad on Kandy, Gampola (24 730), Nuwara Eliya ja Bandarawela. Rahvastik on segu singalitest, tamilitest ja mauridest.
Nii mägine pealinn Kandy kui ka Nuwara Eliya linn asuvad Keskprovintsis ja Sri Padas. Provints toodab suure osa kuulsast Ceyloni teest, mille istutasid britid 1860. aastatel pärast seda, kui laastav haigus tappis kõik provintsi kohviistandused. Keskprovints meelitab ligi palju turiste, kus asuvad mägilinnad nagu Kandy, Gampola, Hatton ja Nuwara Eliya. Temple tooth ehk Dalada maligawa on Keskprovintsi peamine püha paik.
Kliima on jahe ja paljudes umbes 1500 meetri kõrgusel asuvates piirkondades on ööd sageli jahedad. Läänenõlvad on väga niisked, mõnes kohas sajab aastas ligi 7000 mm vihma. Idanõlvad on osa keskmisest kuivast tsoonist, kuna seal sajab vihma ainult kirdemussoonist. Temperatuur jääb vahemikku 24 °C Kandys kuni vaid 16 °C Nuwara Eliyas, mis asub 1889 m kõrgusel merepinnast. Sri Lanka kõrgeimad mäed asuvad Keskprovintsis. Maastik on valdavalt mägine, sügavate orgudega. Kaks peamist mägipiirkonda on keskmassiiv ja Kandyst idas asuv Knucklesi mäestik.
