Open poll and resultsPakistan vs Sri Lanka prediction
Having recently played T20i cricket at the Asian Games before a test match against Afghanistan, Pakistan now turns their attentions to the 50-over format. They’ve got a lot more work to do in this department but having been playing so well in T20i cricket, that form could wind up transferring over to the longer form of white ball cricket.
Pakistan’s record against Sri Lanka in ODIs over the past ten years has been almost impeccable. They’ve won 12 of the last 13 ODI fixtures, including three in Rawalpindi last November. Sri Lanka have consistently been second best when these two nations have collided and those numbers make backing Pakistan the sensible move.
