Sri Lanka A vs Pakistan Shaheens, 3rd One-Day: Probable XIs, match prediction, weather forecast and pitch report
Pakistan Shaheens are all set to take on Sri Lanka A in the third unofficial ODI of the three-match series at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla on November 15, Monday.
After being forced to bat first in the first game, Sri Lanka A could post only 102 runs in 32.2 overs. Kamindu Mendis with 34 runs and Sahan Arachchige with 23 runs did well with the willow for the hosts.
A complete no show from the Sri Lanka A batters was a completely interesting aspect to debate on as they know the conditions better than the visitors. They were keen to turn the tables in the final game after the second encounter ended without a result.
Pakistan Shaheens required very little effort to chase down the total set by Sri Lanka A. They needed just 21.2 overs to overcome the total after losing four wickets. Opener Omair Yousuf with 38 runs and Mohammad Taha with 19 runs top scored for the visitors.
Pakistan Shaheens are favorites to start the third game and would be eager to take on the inexperienced hosts and make it 2-0.
