The Sri Lankan cricket board has sent a reconnaissance team to Pakistan ahead of a tour to the country next month to play a number of T20 internationals. The team is meeting with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials and getting briefed on the travel and security arrangements for their team. They will also visit the venues in Lahore, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad where matches are scheduled and get briefed by the organisers and police officials. While the SENA cricket nations normally send their security delegations to Pakistan ahead of tours to check all arrangements, it is unusual for Sri Lanka to carry out such a visit, especially since they were the first to tour Pakistan in 2019 after international teams refused to visit the country for 10 years following the terrorists attack on Sri Lankan team bus in 2009 in Lahore. Sri Lanka have visited Pakistan several times since 2019 and the country also hosted the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year. The Sri Lankan team will first

South Africa was a nervy 51-2 in pursuit of a record 277 runs to beat Pakistan after day three of the first test at Gaddafi Stadium on Tuesday. Ryan Rickelton and Tony de Zorzi, South Africa's highest scorers from the first innings, were on 29 and 16 respectively at stumps. The highest successful run chase in Lahore was 208 in 1961 by England. On Tuesday, 16 wickets fell as the spinners continued to prosper on the dry pitch with variable bounce. Pakistan bowled out South Africa for 269 in the first hour to grab a 109-run lead on the first innings, but then the home side was all out for 167 in 46.1 overs just after tea. That still set a daunting target of 277, and Pakistan's strike spinner, the 39-year-old Noman Ali, took out Proteas captain Aiden Markram and Wiaan Mulder cheaply for the second time in the match. Rickelton, who survived a dropped catch, and de Zorzi handled the 15 overs to stumps, lifting South Africa from 18-2 to 51-2 at a little more than two runs per over. De
