Cricket grounds in Sri Lanka
The 6 grounds listed in Sri Lanka average 72.3 m straight and 66.8 m square, enclosing a mean playing area of 15,360 m² — 10% above the global mean of 13,957 m².
The largest is SSC Ground in Colombo (86.1 × 77 m); the smallest is R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo (62 × 54 m).
Six-hitting difficulty across these grounds averages 50/100 against a global 40, so sixes are harder to clear here than at the average ground on the site.

Two kinds of figure in this table. 5 of these 6 grounds were measured here from satellite imagery; the other 1 are figures published by the ground or its governing body.
The two are not measured to quite the same edge of the field, so a satellite-measured ground and a published one can look closer in size than they really are. Comparing grounds of the same kind is sound. Comparing across the two is not, until every ground has been re-measured on one basis — work that is under way.
