The concern for Pakistan going into this game will be the opening duo of Fakhar Zaman and Imam-Ul-Haq’s inability to score runs. The management of the team will be hopeful that the starting pair can get going against Sri Lanka.

Imam-Ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, captain Babar Azam, rookie Saud Shakeel, wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan, veteran Iftikhar Ahmed, and all-rounder Shadab Khan will be relied upon to score the majority of runs in the team’s batting order.

Saud Shakeel displayed good batting form in the first game, scoring a quick 68 off 52 balls with the help of nine fours and one six. Mohammad Rizwan, the wicketkeeper, provided strong assistance, scoring 68 runs off 75 balls while hitting eight boundaries.

Mohammad Nawaz, an all-rounder, scored 39 runs off 43 balls in addition to Shakeel and Rizwan’s half-centuries. Shadab Khan contributed 32 runs off 34 balls with the help of two fours and one six.
