In their second game, Lanka posted an impressive 344-9 in Hyderabad but Pakistan’s top order batter Abdullah Shafique and wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan chased down the record target.
Sri Lanka’s wicketkeeper-batter Kusal Perera had a bad start. Their top-order batter Panthum Nissanka also did not do well in the first match against South Africa, though he scored a half-century against Pakistan.
Sri Lanka’s relatively inexperienced bowling attack has conceded a whopping 775 runs in their first two matches.
Australia will also try their best to avoid their third consecutive defeat. Josh Hazlewood claimed three wickets in the opening game against India (Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer), but against Proteas he looked ineffective while claiming just one wicket—of Heinrich Klaasen.
Aussie batting allrounder Marcus Stoinis has also not yet been able to capitalize on his experience of playing at Ekana Stadium.

Australian captain Pat Cummins said, “The wicket is hard to read. Sometimes, it looks flat and ends up spinning. You just have to adapt on the fly sometimes.”
