Good Afternoon all for the final league match, Pakistan v Sri Lanka
from Sharjah, brought to you by Nirala Sweets and CricInfo.com
This is expected to be a rehearsal for Sunday's final with Pakistan
looking to gain more practice and confidence against a dominant
and professional Sri Lankan outfit
Sri Lanka are unbeaten so far and will be looking to carry on today
and go on to win their 3rd succesive Sharjah final on Sunaday
No need to talk much about the Sharjah weather but the pitch seems
to have changed and become a bit more bowler friendly, there's
been some bounce and turn in this tourney
