Buoyed Pakistan aim for series sweep

As Sri Lanka continues to grapple with political turmoil, cricket will remain in the background once again as Pakistan aim for a Test series sweep in Galle, starting Sunday (July 24). The home side, with a few injured absentees, have their task cut out in order to secure series parity.

Sri Lanka could have had the opportunity to go one-up in the first match itself, but they were outclassed by a disciplined performance from Pakistan's batters - more than letting the opportunity slip - who chased down the record total at the venue.

For the second Test, the venue doesn't change, the opposition doesn't, and the conditions are unlikely to either - and in the face of this, begs the question: do Sri Lanka have enough craft in its injury-depleted bowling department to outdo Pakistan's in-form batting line-up?

With 21 wickets in four innings, Prabhat Jayasuriya may have had a dream start to his Test career, but the left-arm spinner has been left to put on a single-handed fight in the bowling department over the last two games - an innings victory over Australia and a record run-chase by Pakistan.

Sri Lankan batters have largely looked assured on the turners at Galle where the bounce and pace have remained far from uncomfortable for them, but the bowlers have failed to apply themselves well in familiar conditions. The Pakistan team under Babar Azam, on the other hand, are making a habit of chasing down big totals in the fourth innings.

When: Sunday, July 24, 2022, 10 AM Local Time

Where: Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, 2nd Test, Galle International Stadium

What to expect: There will be ample turn on offer, as seen in the previous three Tests at the venue. However, fairly predictable bounce and pace has ensured that it won't be as unplayable as batters at times tend to make it seem. Conditions are expected to be cloudy on the first three days and thunderstorms are expected on the last two days of play.

Team News:

Sri Lanka

Maheesh Theekshana has been ruled out due to an injury and replaced by Lakshitha Manasinghe. Pathum Nissanka has also been added to the side after recovering from COVID-19.

Probable XI: Oshada Fernando, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva/Kamindu Mendis, Niroshan Dickwella, Ramesh Mendis, Prabath Jayasuriya, Lakshitha Manasinghe, Kasun Rajitha

Pakistan

Shaheen Afridi has sustained an injury to his right knee and has been ruled out.

Probable XI: Abdullah Shafique, Imam ul Haq, Azhar Ali, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Agha Salman, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Nawaz, Yasir Shah, Hasan Ali, Naseem Shah

What they said:

The pitch went a bit flat at that point, but as a bowling unit we need to give more support to Prabath. He is capable of bowling a lot of overs. He did a great job. He bowled good areas despite bowling 30-35 (56.2) overs - Dimuth Karunaratne, Sri Lanka skipper, after the first Test

As a youngster, he is showing a lot of class. Really pleasing to see him perform well - Babar Azam, Pakistan captain, on Abdullah Shafique
