Having lost the first T20I, Pakistan will now come at Sri Lanka all guns blazing in the second, to level the series. Can the tourists pull off a second upset?
Can Sri Lanka begin the post-Malinga era with a win? Bangladesh will be buoyed and can make it doubly hard.
Pakistan beat Afghanistan three wickets at Headingley; Australia continued their winning run by beating New Zealand; Nuwaan Pradeep is ruled out of Sri Lanka’s World Cup squad; and Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma will lead South Africa ‘A’ teams on their tour of India.
India beat Australia, England Women beat West Indies Women, Pradeep ruled out for a week, and Dhoni had to do away with the army insignia.
With 4 wickets apiece in the match, Nabi and Pradeep are now tied at 2nd spot.
It’s just a warm-up game, but both teams have plenty to do to get in shape for the World Cup.
