Pakistan v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 – 2nd Test – Toss Report
Pakistani hosts are all geared up to settle their debts against the Sri Lankan side, as the two teams lock horns for the second Test fixture, from the 3-match series, which is set to be played today, October 26, 2011, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Having already exhibited an imposing performance during their second innings on the preceding game, Sri Lankan Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TM-Dilshan-c2691, has won the toss and will be batting first at the Dubai venue, hoping to make much out of the decision.
As for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972 has already vowed that his team will come out with an improved performance on the current fixture, having remained in command during the series opener, but failed to remain effective under the fielding department,
which transformed Pakistan’s confirm win into a stalemate.
Hence, Pakistan will have a competitive assignment ahead of them, and will have to retain an imposing performance throughout the fixture, but will have to remain focused, particularly towards the fielding department.
On the other hand, Skipper Misbah will once again rely on his pacers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Junaid-Khan-c77037, to mark some early wickets on the Lankan top order, which would restrict the opponent to pile up an accessible chase.
However, for the task, the Men in Green will also have to bank on the side’s spinners, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aizaz-Cheema-c961.
As for Dilshan’s squad, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jayan-Kaushal-Silva-c66641 to take his place.
Opting to bat first, the Lankan batting arsenal will have to come up to the task against the likes of Pakistan’s much in form pacers. For the matter, the team’s top order players, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397 will have
to retain their ground strong in order to produce some lasing innings.
At the same time, in case of an early crumble, Skipper Dilshan will have to take up the job to stabilise the side’s innings, having already refurbished his batting position on the roster.
