Sri Lanka have set the pace throughout the Twenty20 World Cup with both bat and ball and have not lost a match.
Pakistan, desperately short of practice, were outplayed by England in their opening match but rallied remarkably to thrash New Zealand and then upset a confident, well-drilled South African team in Thursday’s semi-final.
Both sides have exhibited the imagination and technical expertise which have made the tournament so memorable with the latest form of the game evolving and changing daily before noisy sell-out crowds at Lord’s, the Oval and Trent Bridge.
Sri Lanka will start favourites by virtue of their consistency and strength in depth.
