The least they could do is pick the right venues that can create a decent atmosphere which might also tempt viewers to follow it on TV. Started this at a place that shouldn't have been a cricket venue in the first place.
They could easily used Dambulla instead of Hambantota. Dambulla has lights. Also it makes sense to have the first game on a weekend when people can attend. They should've used TV programs to create some buzz. Not sure if that happened.
Strategically, they should try to get some Bangla players into LPL. I know they are unavailable this time around. That's a market that might watch these games. I'm sure some Pakistanis must be supporting Galle because half of the team is Pak.
