Sri Lanka, on the other hand, were outgunned by South Africa in Delhi where the conceded 428, and despite putting up a good show with the bat, fell well short of the total. Their bowlers will be relieved to travel to Hyderabad where their spinners will find more assistance compared to Delhi. However, their pacers need to step up and put in a more solid performance.
Both these sides met in the Asia Cup where Sri Lanka beat Pakistan in a thrilling match and made it to the final. Pakistan have a better record against Sri Lanka, and come into this game as slight favourites.
