Pakistan have not been at their best, but have still managed 2 wins in their last two matches. In their second match against Sri Lanka, their bowlers were taken to the cleaners as Sri Lanka posted 344 runs. Pakistan got off to a mediocre start when they lost both Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam, but then got the chase under control courtesy of a match-winning partnership between Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan.
