Summary
The only Twenty20 match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan will be played in Colombo today. All rounder Shahid Khan Afridi will lead the Pakistan Cricket Team for the first time. Sri Lanka has called up in-form opening batsman Mahela Udawatte to replace Tillakaratne Dilshan, who is still recovering from finger and eye injuries sustained during the third Test last month. Udawatte is expected to open the innings with swashbuckling veteran Sanath Jayasuriya. Udwatte is Sri Lankas best A team batsman and played a magnificent knock of 161 runs to lead his team to victory against Pakistan A team. Dilhara Fernando and Thilan Samaraveeras inclusion is doubtful in the team.
