PAK vs SL: Pitch Report
The wicket in Rawalpindi is good for batting, and it is a good venue to chase. There will be some zip early on when the ball is new and spinners can extract turn and grip in the lateral stages. There are chances of dew in the second innings, making it slightly tough for the bowlers. Batters who can do well at the initial stage can play long innings here.

Pakistan: Haris Rauf bowled a match-winning spell for Pakistan and took wickets when Sri Lanka were doing well with partnerships. He looked in business and bowed to his plans.
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Today’s Match Prediction: There is not much difference between these two sides in terms of skillset. Pakistan rely on their pacers, while Sri Lanka have good spinners. In fact, Pakistan look slightly under par with the bat in hand because of a fragile top order. But despite that, they managed to win the first ODI.
The home conditions are in their favor, and they used them well. That is why Pakistan will start the second game as favorites as well. However, Sri Lanka can’t be written off, as they have done well against Pakistan in recent times.
