Sri Lankan tour of UAE so far has been mixed with two drastic emotions, as they surprised everyone with victories in the longer format. But the ODIs has been a different story, as Lankans found, themselves, on the other side of the spectrum. Now, with the T20I series set to begin, on Thursday in Abu Dhabi, Lankans hope to fight hard to register a win, in limited overs format.
However, the fortunes to win a match has shrunken a bit more, compared to that of ODIs with most regular players, opted to sit out of the series, as Lankan ministry hasn't given permission for separates teams to UAE and Lahore.
On the other hand, Pakistan, barely unchanged from the squad, that played against World XI. And, they seek to continue the form, from ODIs into T20Is, adding to that, the fortune of playing in Pakistan at the end of the series will keep them in high spirits for sure.
While, Lankans might be depleted as far as experience is concerned, but at the same it gives some inexperienced players taste of international cricket, who yet to make their debut. Alongside, these, Perera’s dream to Captain a side has come true and he might hope for a win, in a format that can be unpredictable, even with an inexperienced side.
