2nd Test: Pakistan to face Sri Lanka on Sunday

Galle: The second cricket Test of two-match series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will begin at Galle International Stadium tomorrow (Sunday).

The match will start at 9:30 am Pakistan Standard Time (PST).

Pakistan lead the series one-nil.

Last week, the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) board shifted the venue of the second Test against Pakistan from capital city Colombo to Galle. 

The SLC said that the decision was taken in order to ease out the logistical challenges faced by the stakeholders in carrying out tour-related operations due to the prevailing situations in the country. 

Pakistan is now third in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Test Championship table with 58.33 PCT, behind South Africa (71.48) and Australia (70).

Sri Lanka is sixth with 48.15, behind India (52.08) and the West Indies (50).
