Pakistan to face Sri Lanka at the tougher Super Eights clash at Lord’s in the ICC World T20. This is the first match that Pakistan and Sri Lanka face after the Lankan team was attacked at Pakistan in March.
Beaten by England in their first match of the preliminary stage after losing two warm-up games, Pakistan put their act together to demolish the Netherlands in a crucial final Group B encounter and booked a place in the second round of the tournament. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, has come through with flying colours in their initial group matches, brushing aside the challenge of Australia and the West Indies with comparative ease.

Pakistan: Younis Khan, Abdul Razzaq, Ahmed Shehzad, Fawad Alam, Iftikhar Anjum, Kamran Akmal, Misbah-ul-Haq, Mohammad Aamer, Saeed Ajmal, Salman Butt, Shahid Afridi, Shahzaib Hasan, Shoaib Malik, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Gul
