After dominating the visitors in the ODI series, Pakistan will be eager to evaluate the same performance in the T20I series. Sri Lanka showed signs of resistance in the ODI series but they lacked the knock-out punch.
In the shorter format, Sri Lanka will hope their players up the ante and create a contest.
betway: Pakistan– 1.29, Sri Lanka– 3.50

The presence of Umar Akmal will bolster Pakistan's middle-order while Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman offer strength at the top. Shinwari was terrific in the ODI series so Pakistan will not experiment much for the first game.
