KHETTARAMA R.PREMADASA STADIUM, COLOMBO
We are down to the final match od the long tour of pakistan in Srilanka. On Saturday evening they will be hosting in khettarama the second and final T20. It has been a poor performance by the young Srilankan side.they have been outclassed by the pakis in all department .Yes the lankan team is in transition peroid but they could definately had done better than this.In the first T20 also the lankan captain lost the toss and were forced to bowl in a good looking pitch for batting.Matthews got young MukhtarAhmed early but hafeez and shahzad settled the things.hafeez falled early but shahzad with malik got settled in and then a quick fire 46 from umar akmal and few big swings from boom boom got the 175 with malinga again looked totally out of form.Lankan batted poorly and only kapugedra and siriwardana only shown some threat were were faled due to high run rate required.
Here In second T20 expirenced Matthews need to step up with the bat and he can be dangerous if he gets going.thisara Parera was good with the bowl and kapugedra looked good after a comeback in squad.
TEAM NEWS
Malinga has shown some intent to play Nuwan kulshekra here in second T20 in place of Fernando.
On the other side it will be interesting to see if pakistaan will stick to winning combination or will give Sarfaraz Ahmed a go here.

PREDICTION
Well Pakistaan has played a top class cricket throuhout the series and will like to get this tour finish here with the whitewash in T20.But it will not be easy lanka still have world class strikers like kusal ,dilshan and matthews and anyone gets a start it will be enough for them.On the bowling department if pakistaan looses early wicket than with malinga they can be destructive even without his top form.I am expecting a good show by lankan openers and All round performance by Angelo Matthews.
SRILANKA TO WIN AND LEVEL THE SERIES 1-1 !!
