With an inspirational ODI series victory in South Africa, the Cornered Tigers return to their ‘home’ turf to face off against their fellow South Asian rivals – Sri Lanka!

The two teams have a very well documented history, with some historic encounters such as the tied match with Razzaq’s heroics, the 2009 T20 final and Afridi defeating Sri Lanka single handedly in Sharjah. Unfortunately, the two sides have also been involved in a lot of off field activity such as the 2009 terrorist attack in Lahore.

Over the T20, ODI and Test series the Sri Lankan side will have a number of players – Sangakara, Jaywardena, Dilshan and Malinga to name a few – who will pose a great threat to the Pakistani side. Misbah, Hafeez and their men will have to come up with a way to halt a powerful Sri Lankan side, if they want to make an impact over the next couple of months.

The following video highlights some of the historic matches between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, as well as some of Sri Lanka’s key players who will pose a major threat for the Men in Green.

Hope you enjoy it & as always all feedback is welcomed.
