SL vs PAK: Galle International Stadium, Pitch Report and Weather Forecast-

The pitch at the Galle International Stadium is a paradise for spinners. They come into play from day 1 itself. Batters can score runs if they take some time in the starting and apply themselves properly as we saw in the 1^st Test match. The team winning the toss should look to bat first because the pitch will start deteriorating as the match will progress. Also, the first day of the test will be the best one for batting and it will worsen going ahead.

The weather seems pretty good for Day 1 of the second Test. The temperature will hover around 28 to 30 degrees Celsius throughout the day. Humidity can be a bit of a problem as it may reach up to 75%. Though the wind speed may negate the humidity as it will range between 24-28 km/h. Fortunately, there are no chances of rain.

Injury Update:

Team Pakistan will be without their left-arm pacer Shaheen Afridi as he injured his knee while fielding on day 4 of the 1^st Test and has been ruled out of the fixture. He put up a great performance in Sri Lanka’s first innings taking 4 for 58 to bowl the hosts out for 222. It is a big blow for Pakistan to not have him in the 2^nd Test.

SL vs PAK Head-to-Head Records:

Sri Lanka and Pakistan have played 56 test matches against each other. Pakistan leads by 21-16 and 19 matches have ended in a draw.

SL vs PAK Dream11 Top Picks:

Babar Azam

Pakistan’s captain and star-batter Babar Azam has been one of the most consistent players in world cricket in the last few years. An average of 47 after 41 tests speaks a lot about him. His brilliant knocks of 119 and 55 in the 1^st Test were the main reasons for Pakistan’s thumping victory. Like in every other match, he has to play a key role in the 2^nd Test if Pakistan is to win the series.

Prabath Jayasuriya

In a short career of just 2 test matches, the left-arm orthodox was quick to make his mark by picking up 21 wickets. Though Sri Lanka lost the 1^st Test, Prabath Jayasuriya’s accurate bowling which tumbled Pakistan’s top order will be the one to remember. He will be raring to go once again on the turning track of Galle.
