Blogs Pakistan should win this one
July 24th, 2009 by kapoor
The third test match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan is underway and unless there are some serious batting heroics from the Lankan side, Pakistan should win this one comfortably and make it 2-1 for the series. In the hindsight, Pakistan might feel that they have done a mistake by not playing Kaneria earlier. For that matter, Afridi too could have been a handful on these spinning tracks. It was good to see Kaneria back in action and among the wickets. Shoaib Malik has found form after an eternity and his batting should add more strength to the middle order that has already been boosted by the return of Mohammed Yousuf. Yes, Pakistan has lost this test match series but given the circumstances under which they are playing they have more gains than losses from it. This series should gel together an almost split side and get them ready for international cricket in the coming months.
