Preview
Sri Lanka will lock horns with Pakistan in the second Test match of the Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo from July 24. Pakistan won the first Test and took an unassailable lead of 1-0, but Sri Lanka would also be eyeing this match to equalize the series.
The last match between these two teams was played at the Galle International Stadium, where Sri Lanka had won the toss and elected to bat. Choosing to bat was not proving to be a good decision for them as they were reduced to 53 for four, but then they had two back-to-back brilliant partnerships, which brought them back into the game and posted a good total of 312 runs on the board. Pakistan seemed to be in trouble when they lost the fifth wicket at the score of 101 but then started the magical performance of Saud Shakeel, who went on to score an unbeatable double ton, and Pakistan gained the first innings lead of 149.
In their second innings, Sri Lanka looked much better at the start, with their opener scoring a fifty. Their hero from the first innings, Dhananjaya de Silva, was again the lead scorer for them but was unfortunate to have missed out on his century this time around. Sri Lanka could only reach 279 runs in their second innings, so Pakistan received the target of 131. Chasing the total, Pakistan looked to be in a bit of trouble when a solid partnership between Imam ul Haq and Saud Shakeel saved brought them into safe waters. Pakistan won the match by four wickets.

Player Picks
Saud Shakeel PAK | BAT
Shakeel was simply phenomenal in the last match and received the very well-deserved Player of the Match award for his performance. He scored a total of 238 runs in the last game and should be the one to lead your team in this game.
Dhananjaya de Silva SL | ALL
Dhananjaya was the most consistent player in the last game where he scored well in both the innings. With a century and a half-century in the last match, he smashed 204 runs and could be a fantastic option for the captaincy role.
Ramesh Mendis SL | ALL
Mendis spun the ball well in the last game where he managed to get a fifer in the first innings for Sri Lanka. He scored 47 runs in the game later as well and finished the game with six wickets in his kitty.
Agha Salman PAK | BAT
Salman was clearly one of the best-performing all-rounders of the last game from either side. He had scored 83 runs in the first innings and later scalped three wickets in the game as well.
Prabath Jayasuriya SL | BOWL
Scalping seven wickets in the last game, Prabath Jayasuriya was the most successful bowler in the last game. He is a talented spinner for Sri Lanka and must find a place in your team.
Shaheen Afridi PAK | BOWL
Shaheen had troubled Lankan batters a lot in the last game and registered good figures as well. He scalped five wickets in the game and is expected to play well in this match too.
Abrar Ahmed PAK | BOWL
Abrar impressed everyone with his bowling performance in the last match. He took three wickets each in the first as well as second innings of the game and could be a crucial pick for this game as well.
Angelo Mathews SL | ALL
Mathews is an experienced batter who has played over 100 Test matches for Sri Lanka. He was brilliant in the first innings playing a knock of 64 runs but couldn't replicate the same in the second innings.
Sadeera Samarawickrama SL | WK
Samarawickrama was decent with the bat scoring 47 runs in the last game. He was fantastic with his glovework behind the stumps and could fetch you hefty points.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Kusal Mendis
SL | WK
Kusal could not impress much with his performance in the last game and should not be picked up in your team as well.
Vishwa Fernando
SL | BOWL
Fernando could not lead the pace attack well and did not scalp too many wickets. He should not find a place in your team.
