Sri Lanka Vs Pakistan Live Streaming: Toss, Playing XI And How To Watch PAK vs SL 2nd ODI Live In India?

Following an exciting series opener, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are set to meet in the 2nd ODI on Friday, with the hosts riding high on confidence. Although Sri Lanka maintained a brisk scoring rate for much of their innings while chasing 300, a series of batting collapses cost them the match.

The home side staged an impressive comeback in the opening match, recovering from a shaky position thanks to a brilliant century from middle-order batter Salman Agha, who completely changed the course of the game.

On the other hand, Wanindu Hasaranga showed great resolve with a fighting half-century, but with little backing from his teammates, Sri Lanka struggled to form meaningful partnerships when it mattered most and lost by just 6 runs.

Pakistan’s strike bowler Haris Rauf changed the course of the match with a brilliant burst, removing Kamil Mishara, Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka within just ten deliveries. His spell swung the momentum firmly in Pakistan’s favour, leaving Sri Lanka’s middle order under strain. Though the visitors attempted to rebuild through a handful of steady stands, another collapse later on dashed their hopes.

Salman Agha’s superb hundred, well backed by Hussain Talat, proved to be the turning point for Pakistan and underlined how crucial solid partnerships can be in a run chase. 

Heading into the second ODI, Sri Lanka will be eager to build on their starts and post better totals, whereas Pakistan will focus on carrying forward their winning rhythm.

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has directed its players and coaching staff to carry on with the series in Pakistan, even though some members of the squad have expressed concerns and wished to head home after Tuesday’s suicide attack in Islamabad.

The SLC board stated that players have been given full assurances regarding their safety and were told to proceed with the remaining fixtures as planned. It also warned that any player or staff member who goes against these directives could face disciplinary action.

"If any player, players, or member of the support staff return despite SLC's directives, a formal review will be conducted to assess their actions, and an appropriate decision will be made upon the conclusion of the review," the SLC said in a statement.
