Colombo: Sri Lanka have decided to bat after winning toss they are ready to take on Pakistan in the first semi-final of the ICC World T20 in R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
Abdul Razzaq has once again been dropped from playing eleven as Sohail Tanvir is in for him.
Pakistan, after beating Australia by 32 runs in their final match of super eight round, will go in with confidence while Sri Lanka will have home crowed advantage. Although, along with hundreds of Pakistani supporters, the Sri Lankans had supported the green shirts in the event but today we will see a division in the crowed.
