Ranasinghe Premadasa Stadium, Cricket stadium in Maligawatta, Colombo, Sri Lanka

The R. Premadasa Stadium is a cricket ground in Maligawatta, Colombo, with a continuous tiered concrete stand in blue, yellow and pale grey that curves around the field. A tall rectangular scoreboard stands at one end, and a single floodlight tower rises behind the far stand. The ground holds 35,000 spectators.

The stadium opened on 2 February 1986 with a match between Sri Lanka 'B' and England 'B', built on marshland near the Khettarama temple. It was known as Khettarama Cricket Stadium until June 1994, when it was renamed after President Ranasinghe Premadasa. A $8 million renovation before the 2011 World Cup raised capacity from 14,000 to 40,000.

The ground is called the "Home of Sri Lankan Cricket" and stands on Khettarama Road, a name that survives from its original Khettarama Stadium. Its 1997 Test against India produced Sri Lanka's 952/6 declared, still the highest total in Test history, and Sanath Jayasuriya's 340 at the same match remains the ground's top individual score.

The stadium is located near Khettarama Road and is easily accessible by public transport. Arriving early helps secure good seating, especially during major matches.

In 1997 Sri Lanka declared at 952 for 6 against India here, still the highest total in Test history; Sanath Jayasuriya made 340 in that innings, the ground's best individual score. Muttiah Muralitharan took 9 for 60 in a match and 36 wickets in total at the ground, the most by any bowler.
