Match Preview Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, 3rd ODI 2019

Big picture

It wasn't as shameful as it used to be. At 5:28, Sri Lanka was in danger of running more than 200 times in the second ODI. Shehan Jayasuriya and Dasun Shanaka pulled Sri Lanka back into the game almost, but the result was a comfortable win for Pakistan.

This is what he has gained in many Sri Lankan matches over the past two years. There was a moment of fighting. But they gave up too much ground because the small passage of brilliance was important in the rest of the game. There is a similarity of respect for many performances. But victory remains elusive.

Pakistan has been in a good position to maintain pressure on the weakened opposition, as Babar Azam has not been hit by his figure since the end of the World Cup, and even Fakhar Zaman is starting to look ominous. Shadab Khan is a bit expensive on Monday, but the fast bowling game produces all of the tight spells throughout the game, so the host doesn't have a big problem with the bowling front either.

In the spotlight

Usman Shin Wari Although he did not compete in the World Cup, he made a big statement on Monday. Hasan Ali went through a rough patch and Junaid Khan also favored the selectors, so once again good on Wednesday, Shinwari could join Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz in Pakistan's ODI Trio.

And love to be ninja I took two turnstiles in the second ODI, but they are in a similar position to the Shinwari. Akila Dananjaya, Sri Lanka's top spin option, has now been suspended for a year for his actions. Sri Lanka is desperately looking for a penetrating limited spinner that could play a role in next year's T20 World Cup, and more and more Ha Lovers fit the bill. He also does not hurt the fact that he is a good hitter, but at the moment it should be excellent for building a place with a ball.

Team news

Lahiru Kumara was expensive and long on Monday and could be replaced by Kasun Rajitha. It is also possible that Angelo Perera will be at the top.
