She stated that the “Pakistani squad has a fantastic squad in place for both forms,”(T20 and ODIs). When the newbies on both sides get an opportunity to play, they have a fantastic chance to prove their value.
Playing an international series in Pakistan is always thrilling, and such events always drive us to perform well and encourage the spectators.

She stated, “We are thrilled to play a tough Pakistan squad in their backyard,” Pakistan and Sri Lanka have traditionally had cordial ties.

However, the weather is hot and humid, and it will put us to the test, but it will also allow us to put our talents to the test under challenging situations.
The South end Club, which is located near Karachi’s Sea View Beach, will host all three matches.
But the Karachi sea wind should help the two sides in hot weather, with the T20Is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. local time. PTV Sports will broadcast the series live.
