Another below-par show where the team Sri Lanka will be the bat and accepted the series to Pakistan post the seven-wicket loss in the third game and this much-awaited five-match series will be telecast on this 18th October on Wednesday. Post having lost the first couple of games this time the team Sri Lanka will be keen to chase totals runs in the match. To put things very simple as per the spectators’ perspective, something very common we will we see in the Sri Lanka’s indifference so far; their spineless batting display the charisma of Upul Tharanga who in spite a hundred and a fifty has failed to overturn the fortunes of his side.
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, 4th ODI Match
Come to the fourth ODI, today there will be the much-awaited Cricket match Pakistan vs Sri Lanka and in this match, Sri Lanka would go in knowing the result in the series which should not be changed.
The team Sri Lanka would be overhauling their batting to showcase the same. Tharanga aside, only Lahiru Thirimanne has scored a fifty in the series which is enough to toss the team Pakistan.
Sri Lanka’s bowling, although, has been in stark contrast to their batting for the bowlers, particularly Suranga Lakmal, have delivered repeatedly.
Sri Lanka: 173-10 (43.4)
Pakistan: 74-3 (18.3)
A special mention for Lahiru Gamage cannot be in which either he will be picked up three top-order wickets in the second game to make sure the team Pakistan can have some massive score total on its kitty.
Though there’s a larger cause of concern in the batting outfit, and here some changes which are ongoing can be observed by the bowlers.
In the today’s match of the Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, the last two performances of both teams matters and the ODIs will determine the final scoreline also here.
Meanwhile, the team Pakistan discovered a new hero in the opener Imam-ul-Haq, who is also a worth Pakistani batsman after Saleem Elahi as well he scores a century in his debut match.
His resolute intent was exemplary which he showcased in the run and its chase. Babar Azam’s form is the main highlight of Pakistan’s growth as a cricketing nation and the team Pakistan is hoping to have a better and bigger target in the series of Cricket matches.
Ins spite Mohammad Hafeez being reported is said to be to delivers a suspect action for the third time, Pakistan is likely to cover all bases in the bowling department. Though, the think-tank will be a little tensed about Fakhar Zaman’s incapability to starts the match.
In these minor glitches, Pakistan look set to take a leap in rankings in the commemorations of the series.
This also serves as the perfect chance which can become the extension of the winning streak past seven and it looks actually more and more imperative for Sri Lanka to arrest their ODI slide and it will stand for 10 defeats on the walk briskly at the moment.
When: October 20, 2017, 2 PM Local, 3.30 PM IST
Venue: Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium, Sharjah
Expectations: The wicket in Sharjah will not be differences to the ones on display in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, this means that it can again be on the slower side which will receive few yards of coldness under the lights.
Team News:
Pakistan: There aren’t various convincing reasons for the hosts to changes the team 11. Though Hafeez’s action has been called, it seems to capture its spot in the side bearing in mind he’s still allowed to bowl.
Sri Lanka: The tourists could miss the services of Chamara Kapugedera post he was struck and it will be thrown from the wicket-keeper while the third ODI that result is in heavy swelling under his right eye.
It will be yet to see whether he will be able to recover in the today’s Pakistan V/S Sri Lanka match and this is the 4th ODI of the series.
His form though wasn’t gratifying enough either as Sri Lanka is looking fit in its spot. So the match Pakistan V/S Sri Lanka is going to be the interesting one for the Cricket fans.
