Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 3rd ODI - Clinical Pakistan in Colombo

No Saeed Ajmal, Mohammad Hafeez banned from bowling for 12 months, the middle order lacks the experience of Misbah and Younis Khan and the pace attack is not a competent one.

But there is Yasir Shah, Mohammad Rizwan, Immad Wasim, Sarfraz Ahmed, Anwar Ali, Rahat Ali, Mohammad Irfan and forgotten heroes like Shoaib Malik to deliver the goods. In fact, there is no dearth of talents in Pakistan. If one player gets banned, then another exciting talent is ready to fill the gap. 

The men in green were clinical in the third ODI, but don’t be surprised if you discover a meek surrender in the fourth ODI. Cornered Tigers one day, cornered chicken the other. This is what Pakistan cricket is all about – unpredictable, mysterious, funny, at times ugly, but always entertaining for the fans.
