After winning the T20I series 2-1 and the ODI tri-series, hosts Pakistan will now want to clean-sweep Sri Lanka in the longest format of the game as the two nations begin a two-match Test series.
There’s not much at stake with respect to the World Test Championship, as both teams are pretty much out of contention. Pakistan are at the bottom with just 5 points and 2 wins in 9 games. Sri Lanka are only slightly better, with 24 points and 1 win in 6 games.
Pakistan have much to improve in Test cricket. This year alone, they lost to Bangladesh 2-0 and then only managed to draw the Test series against the West Indies (1-1) before being whitewashed by England 3-0. As is usual with Pakistan cricket, there was a flurry of changes, with Babar Azam being reappointed as captain and coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and Umar Gul let go in the middle of the England series.
A bigger concern for them is the batting form of Babar Azam, whose last Test century came way back in 2022 and who has now gone 40 Test innings without a ton. Their squad is also fairly new-looking, with exciting talents like Razaullah, who impressed in England, Mohammad Ghazi Ghori, and Arafat Minhas.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have only played four Tests this year, losing both series against the West Indies and India 1-0 each. They’d be keen to get a win under their belt and will bank on the likes of captain Kusal Mendis, Sonal Dinusha, who piled on runs against India, Kamindu Mendis, and Lahiru Kumara. Opener Pathum Nissanka is out due to injury.
