Saeed Ajmal is back into Pakistan team giving an edge to the tourists in the series decider. For Pakistan, the series so far has been a tale of two chases, similar in their setting but vastly different in outcome – the first, conjured from thin air by Fawad Alam and Sohaib Maqsood, the second blown up in smoke by Sri Lanka’s spinners on a helpful track. But the second ODI in Hambantota wasn’t just about the batting collapse. The Saeed Ajmal-sized hole in the Pakistan line-up could not be filled by the bowlers, especially towards the end of Sri Lanka’s innings and Misbah-ul-Haq will know that the game slipped away from the side over the course of a mere 18 overs with the bat and in the field. While Sri Lanka were batting, Pakistan gave away 101 runs in the final ten overs and during their chase, went from 192 for 4 to 233 all out in just eight overs. Pakistan, however, will be boosted by the return of Ajmal after his bowling action was tested in Brisbane, and may drop a fast bowler to accommodate him. However, it is the need to find consistency in the batting line-up that will be Pakistan’s biggest challenge. Despite having levelled the series, Sri Lanka have their own set of glaring problems. The failures of Tillakaratne Dilshan and Upul Tharanga – who have stands of 18 and 14 – have been masked by the fluency Mahela Jayawardene and Angelo Mathews’ remarkable form in the middle order. Lasith Malinga’s yorkers haven’t been as effective as they usually are and Nuwan Kulasekara, although marginally economical than Malinga, is still wicketless. The 3rd ODI match between Pakistan vs Sri Lanka is being played at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium today on Saturday August 30 2014 at 09:45 local in Rangiri Dambulla, 04:15 GMT and 9:15 PKT in Pakistan.

Team News With Ajmal returning to the side, Pakistan may opt to drop either Junaid Khan or Mohammad Irfan. Sharjeel Khan, who replaced Younis Khan in the batting line-up, is likely to keep his place. Sri Lanka are likely to stick with their misfiring opening combination and may field the same XI from Hambantota.
