Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Live Scores, 1st Test Day 1: Babar Azam to face Sri Lanka in opening Test in Rawalpindi – The Tech Word News

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 1st Test Day 1: Pakistan take on Sri Lanka in the opening Test of their two-match series in Rawalpindi, with both teams looking to get off to a good start. Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis won the toss and elected to bowl first, expecting help for the fast bowlers on a surface with a layer of live grass and some moisture. According to Salman Butt, the pitch underneath is hard and should offer bounce and carry, which tests the batsmen’s technique, especially during the first session.

Pakistan have named a young playing eleven under Babar Azam, with four players set to make their Test debut. The hosts will rely on experienced batsmen like Babar, Saud Shakeel, Salman Agha and Mohammad Abbas to provide stability. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka opted for a fast attack with Lahiru Kumara, Asitha Fernando and Dilshan Madushanka. With both teams chasing valuable World Test Championship points, the opening day promises to be an interesting contest between Pakistan’s batting and Sri Lanka’s pace attack.
