Pakistan Under 19 or the Pakistan Youth will be traveling to the coastal regions of Sri Lanka where they will be contesting in a 5-match ODI series. All the five matches are scheduled to take place at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium in Hambantota.
Both thee teams have seen each other in ICC events or the Under 1 Asia Cup, but this would be the first instance when these two will meet for the first time ina proposed 5-match ODI series. If we talk about the recent meetings between these two sides, Sri Lanka Youth has held the upper hand over their counterparts by 3 matches to one in their last 5 encounters.
Hambantota offers a typical sub-continent pitch which offers dryness and slowness. Batting can be tricky here if the ball tends to turn and grip.
