In the spotlight
This is **Shahid Afridi’s format. This was Afridi’s team. With his dozen-a-minute expressions and frenzied hand-waving on the field, he had successfully managed to hold together a team that many expected to fall apart. And then, the leadership was rudely yanked from under his feet after a series win in the West Indies, sending him into bitterness and temporary retirement. He has said that he has no problems playing under Misbah, having “played under a lot of captains, like around 11 or 12.” But he is no ordinary player; he is the dethroned captain and was the heartbeat of his side during the World Cup. To say that his performance - and his interaction with Misbah - will be watched, is to state the obvious.

[TABLE]
Russell Arnold in the pitch report **reckons the fast bowlers might get a bit of assistance given the sprinkling of grass on the track, but the spinners might struggle**. He says a score of around 270 will be challenging.
Toss: Dilshan has won the toss and decided to bat. Kumar Sangakkara will keep. Misbah says he would have batted first, but thinks the dew might play a role later in the day. The return of Afridi and Razzaq is a big boost, he says.
Hello and welcome to our coverage of the first ODI between Pakistan and Sri Lanka being played at the Dubai Sports City. Pakistan tool the Test series 1-0; the main attraction in these ODIs will be the return of some star players. Lasith Malinga comes back for Sri Lanka and Shahid Afridi makes a comeback for Pakistan following a period of temporary ‘retirement’. We’ll get you the details from the toss when it happens. In the meantime, check out the preview.
Malinga :smack2: and I think Pak should include Junaid instead of Ajmal :naraz:

Any one knows any site from where we can purchase live streaming which is reliable as well for this series? I used to use tvandsportstreams.tv but since last month, it is been acting a bit weird. Will really appreciate your help.

Abdul Razzaq to Sangakkara, OUT, got him, a wicket in his first over, short of a good length outside off that held its line, Sanga tried to pinch a single by opening the face there, got a faint tickle and the keeper took a good, low catch. Sanga walked

Shahid Afridi to Chandimal, SIX, Chandimal's taking his chances and they're paying off, that was tossed up, landed in the slot on middle, and he slog-swept it against the turn into the stands over deep midwicket

Shahid Afridi to Jayawardene, no run, Appeal for an lbw and we have a referral, That went on straight, Mahela gets across and tries to play it through midwicket while closing the face, misses, replays show it would have scraped the leg-stump, the umpire had given it not out and he upholds that decision since it’s only scraping the leg stump

Re: Pakistan v Sri Lanka - 1st ODI - 11 Nov 2011
Good Morning and good bowling by Pakistan.
Pakistan need couple of more wickets to disable SL's scoring battery. Mathew and Jaywardane both are capable of taking score to challenging level.

Shahid Afridi to Mathews, OUT, a run-out ends Mathews’ stay, that was tucked behind square leg, there was no run in it, though Mathews seemed to think there was, he charges down the track before being turned back, he dives to try make his ground, but the throw was at the top of the stumps and the keeper whips off the bails before Mathews can return
**AD Mathews run out 9 (29b 0x4 0x6) SR: 31.03

Mohammad Hafeez to Kulasekara, OUT, not the best of debuts with the bat for Kulasekara, was clearly sucked in by the flight there, tempting delivery that landed full on the off and he chipped it loosely straight towards a perfectly-positioned mid-off, a dolly of a catch to Umar Gul
CKB Kulasekara c Umar Gul b Mohammad Hafeez 0 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Saeed Ajmal to Jayawardene, OUT, Another one goes, it’s Mahela and Sri Lanka are sinking, given the field was up, Mahela tried to sweep that over short fine leg but ended up playing it into the hands of Misbah-ul-Haq who was prowling the area for a catch, took it comfortably
**DPMD Jayawardene c Abdul Razzaq b Saeed Ajmal 24 (57b 0x4 0x6) SR: 42.10
