After registering a win in the 3rd ODI, Pakistan U19 have taken a deserving lead in the 5 match ODI series by 2-1. Now the two teams will head into the third ODI with Sri Lanka U19’s quest on the line to stay alive in the series.
Sri Lanka’s loss in the third ODI was their second on the trot in this series after winning the first match quite convincingly by 26 runs. With the series on the line, Sri Lanka U19 is expected to come all guns blazing with chances of errors almost negligible.
The slowness of the wicket is not letting the batsmen score runs freely. This was clearly seen in the last game where the hosts could only manage 183 on the board in the first innings. A similar sort of surface can be expected for this game.
