Sri Lanka will take on Pakistan in the second and final Test of the two-match series in a must-win clash at SSC, Colombo starting Monday, July 24. Pakistan riding on Saud Shakeel's maiden double hundred achieved a rather comfortable win by 4 wickets in the series opener and would hope to seal the series in Colombo.
After Shaheen Afridi's opening burst, it seemed like Pakistan gave away the advantage to Sri Lanka and Dhananjaya de Silva made the most of it by smashing a well-compiled century but Shakeel's outstanding knock not only helped the visitors respond in style with the bat but also take a 149-run lead in the first innings. De Silva played another superb knock of 82 runs but their second consecutive top-order failure in the same game meant Sri Lanka could get a lead of just 130 runs.
Sri Lanka will hope for a much better performance with both bat and ball with series and World Test Championship points on the line. On the other hand, Pakistan will be keen to whitewash the Islanders to start the third WTC cycle on a special note.
