Sri Lanka vs Pakistan prediction

On a surface heavily conducive to spin, it was Pakistan who took full advantage to secure a series lead this past Wednesday, winning by six wickets as they chased down 129 after bowling out Sri Lanka. Exactly half of Sri Lanka’s ten wickets fell to spin, underlining the turning conditions and how their batters were unable to cope with them.

Pakistan will hope for more of the same here at Dambulla once again, but with rain forecast throughout the scheduled hours of play, the sensible move would be to focus on one of their players. Spin-bowler Abrar Ahmed took three wickets for just 25 runs in the opening match. Expect him to gain further success in this one and back the leggie to pick up over 1.5 match wickets for the second straight game.
