  Weather remains the biggest talking point, with persistent rain having already washed out one match and threatening several others during this unusually harsh north-east monsoon.

 

 

On the field, the Sri Lanka national cricket team continue to search for stability ahead of the T20 World Cup, with frequent changes at the top order and inconsistent batting returns offsetting the threat posed by Dushmantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranga.

 

Meanwhile, Pakistan have looked clinical, backing up disciplined bowling with assured top-order batting in the opener. Even without some senior players, Pakistan appear settled and confident, and if weather permits, they will aim to seal the series on conditions that have suited them so far.
