From cricinfo:

Big Picture

At this point of the series, even traditionalists can’t wait for the T20 series. After a one-sided ODI series that seemed to stretch out interminably, the focus now turns to a three-match T20 series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The Tests saw a clean sweep for Sri Lanka, while Pakistan avenged the loss in a comprehensive 5-0 whitewash in the ODIs.

Sri Lanka have had a dismal ODI record this year, but their T20 record in 2017 has been much more impressive. They began the year with two away series wins - in South Africa and Australia, no less - and boast a winning record over the year, having won five of nine games. They will look to make that count to ensure they bookend the tour with positive memories to dull the pain of the ODI thrashing.

Complicating things, however, are the peculiar scheduling arrangements of this series. With the third T20 to be held in Lahore, the Sri Lankan management have decided to only select players willing to travel to Pakistan. That means Sri Lanka will be without Upul Tharanga, Dinesh Chandimal, Niroshan Dickwella and Akila Dananjaya for the T20s.

That means a new-look Sri Lanka gear up for the series, while Pakistan have their full squad at their disposal. That, and recent form, makes the Pakistan firm favourites, but with T20 cricket, predictions are a thankless task.

In the spotlight

Babar Azam’s T20 form is every bit as impressive as in ODIs. Averaging 54, he has never been dismissed in single figures in the format. This ability to feel comfortable in a high-pressure format is part of his growing appeal and reputation. Sri Lanka’s captain this series Thisara Perera will know all about that, given he was part of the World XI that toured Pakistan last month. Babar Azam was the leading run-scorer over the tour and won Man-of-the-series.

Thisara Perera takes over the captaincy reins in difficult times for his country. What bodes well for him is his game is most suited to the T20 format. But his experience will be required in more ways than one, especially in the Lahore T20, as he was the only Sri Lankan in the World XI side.

Team news

Usman Khan, after his five-for in the fifth ODI, may had done enough to secure a consistent run, beating off competition from Rumman Raees. Imam-ul-Haq impressed in the ODIs, but Ahmed Shehzad got big runs against the World XI, and could return.

Pakistan (probable): 1 Ahmed Shehzad, 2 Fakhar Zaman, 3 Babar Azam, 4 Mohammad Hafeez, 5 Shoaib Malik, 6 Sarfraz Ahmed (capt, wk), 7 Imad Wasim, 8 Faheem Ashraf, 9 Shadab Khan, 10 Hasan Ali, 11 Usman Khan

Sri Lanka’s T20 squad was put together hurriedly, and they might not be sure of their best XI yet.

Sri Lanka (probable): 1 Dilshan Munaweera, 2 Danushka Gunathilaka, 3 Sadeera Samarawickrama, 4 Mahela Udawatte, 5 Ashan Priyanjan, 6 Dasun Shanaka, 7 Seekkuge Prasanna, 8 Thisara Perera (capt.), 9 Sachith Pathirana, 10 Jeffrey Vandersay, 11 Lahiru Gamage

Pitch and conditions

Dew could play a role in Abu Dhabi, but as it could impact both teams since it’s a night game. The slow surface is likely to assist spin bowlers.

Stats and trivia

Thisara Perera has played more T20Is (60) than the rest of the 16-man Sri Lankan squad put together (47). Eleven players in the squad are yet to make their T20I debut

Abu Dhabi doesn’t have a reputation for particularly high scores, but it does boast one of the highest totals in T20I cricket. That came in a World T20 qualifier in 2013 when Ireland amassed 225 against Afghanistan

Re: Pak Vs SL 1st T20 | 26 October 2017 |

Get rid of Shahzad, he is useless. Replace him with someone like imam.

Re: Pak Vs SL 1st T20 | 26 October 2017 |

Brilliant decision by Sarfraz to bowl first and the bowlers are completely backing it up.

SL are 66/6 in 12th over. Lets hope for another slam dunk.

Re: Pak Vs SL 1st T20 | 26 October 2017 |

103 is the target. Salman already gone. Shahzad playing as usual in tuk tuk putting pressure on other batsman

Re: Pak Vs SL 1st T20 | 26 October 2017 |

N now babar azam gone. Succumbed to the pressure built by the dot balls

Re: Pak Vs SL 1st T20 | 26 October 2017 |

The usual drama…

Pakistani team is back

Re: Pak Vs SL 1st T20 | 26 October 2017 |

At the end it is easy win by 7 wickets. Thanks to shahzad who got out . If he keep going. It wud be more difficult

Re: Pak Vs SL 1st T20 | 26 October 2017 |

yayy Pakistan won.

Shehzad is such a good for nothing player. I hope he is booted in next game.

Re: Pak Vs SL 1st T20 | 26 October 2017 |

It will work on lap top or computer as well but i do not know any browser based proxy for computers. But surely on cell phone you can download VPN from play store.. For example there are some Indian shows which you can not watch from outside India.. What i do is, i download VPN, then i change the the location to India and enjoy the show..
