Srilanka vs Pakistan Prediction: Srilanka to level up the series in the final game of the series

Sri Lanka will be battling out to level the series 1-1 against Asian giants Pakistan. Who will come on top in the second and final game of the series?

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is coming on the back of a great win against favorites Australia when they beat them with one inning but then lost in the first game against Pakistan. They are currently sitting in the third spot in the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 points table. Pathum Nissanka, Oshada Fernando, Angelo Mathews, Kusal Mendis, and Dinesh Chandimal are the main men who will play a crucial role in the outcome of this game. They need to win the game to level up the series and gain some points in the World Test Championship.

Sri Lanka Predicted Lineup

Dimuth Karunaratne (C), Pathum Nissanka, Oshada Fernando, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, Kamindu Mendis, Ramesh Mendis, Kusal Mendis, Niroshan Dickwella, Dinesh Chandimal, Maheesh Theekshana, Kasun Rajitha, Vishwa Fernando, Asitha Fernando, Dilshan Madushanka, Prabath Jayasuriya, Dunith Wellalage, Jeffrey Vandersay.

Pakistan

Babar Azam will be leading the Pakistani team in this game and it will be interesting to see how he handles the team in this game. His team was not clinical enough but got the job done in the end. They were able to chase down a challenging total in the fourth innings of the game. Spinners will be key in this game and Pakistan has plenty of good ones. Abdullah Shafique, Azahar Ali, Imam-ul-Haq, Mohammed Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, and Hasan Ali will be the key men going into the game.
