Sri Lanka-Pakistan meet in Hambantota

Sri Lanka’s two-match Twenty20 series against the visiting Pakistan side will get underway under lights at Hambantota on Friday.  Last week Sri Lanka recalled left-arm seamer Isuru Udana who bowls a clever mixture of cutters that ideally suit the shortest version of the game. Udana last played for the national team in the 2009 World Twenty20. Also included in the squad is legspin-bowling hard-hitting batsman Kaushal Lokuarachchi, who has not played for the national team since 2007. For the five-match ODI series pacemen Dilhara Fernando and Nuwan Pradeep have been included along with allrounder Jeevan Mendis.
