Colombo - - Pakistan has won the toss and elected to bat first. Same team is playing that was involved in huge victory against minnows, Kenya.
Sri Lanka has come up with two changes in the previous squad, as per skipper Sangakara mentioned after losing the toss.
Pitch report: The wicket was re-layed a couple of months ago. We haven't had an international game here since two years. There are a lot of cracks in the wicket and the wicket may get slower as the game progresses. The captain who wins the toss would look to bat first. Yesterday's big game - Australia v New Zealand - turned out to be lopsided. Let's hope that we get to see a cracker of a contest today as the two of the three sub continent giants - Sri Lanka and Pakistan - lock horns at
Both teams are coming out of massive wins against the minnows and this game will surely be the one to look out for.
