2- Javed Miandad 248
3- Saeed Anwar 255
4- Mohammad Yousuf 261

Azam is currently ranked fourth in Test batters’ rankings, meanwhile, he is on top of the charts in ODI and T20Is.
Pakistan need their captain to notch up a big score in the first innings as they have already lost five top-order batters with less than 100 runs on the board.
It is pertinent to remember that Sri Lanka were dismissed for 222 in their first innings, after deciding to bat first.
