COLOMBO: Triumphant Pakistan is going with the same winning combination in the second Twenty20 game; however Sri Lanka has yet made two changes in their squad.
Angelo Mathews is out with a wrist injury. Shehan Jayasuriya and Dasun Shanaka are making their international debuts. They replace Mathews and Kithuruwan Vithanage. This means their eleven today will contain six players with two T20I caps or fewer.
Earlier, Lasith Malinga tosses the coin, Shahid Afridi calls heads. It’s tails. Sri Lanka chooses to bat.
Afridi said he would have liked to bat first too. Pakistan are unchanged.
