Cricket world cup 2011 26 Feb Match time: Start time 14:30 local time (08:30 GMT)

Pakistan will take on Sri Lanka in the Group A match on 26th February 2011 at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. Pakistan after winning their world cup opening match against Kenya easily now has to play against one of the better sides in the 2011 world cup, Sri Lanka. Their team combination worked against the Kenya side but have to work better combination when playing against quality side like Sri Lanka so they have to work on it.

Their final XI against Kenya contained 3 specialist fast bowlers in Shoaib Akhta,Abdur Rehman and Umar Gul and two part timers Abdul Razzaq and Shahid Afridi. I guess they better take one more specialist bowler against the strong Sri Lanka cricket side for Saturday game. One more option they can look for is to include the talented Junaid Khan who can fill in the spot of a bowler as and a middle order batsman, but Abdul Razzak is already there in their team. Many say that Abdul Razzak is under utilized in the current Pakistani link up, but there are a lot of peoples who actually disagree. He is just playing his part by providing support in batting as well as bowling and everyone knows his talent, he can be dangerous in both departments any given day but unfortunately not in best of touché from last couple of years.

Pakistan also needs to rethink the top order batting as they didn’t play well against week side like Kenya the other day. I strongly feel that Shahid Afridi can be tested as opener in these conditions but doubt as he already has additional responsibility of Captaincy

Sri Lanka side too posted an easy win in their first world cup match against Canada. Dilshan, Sangakkara and Jayawardene chip in with good runs and Kulasekara,Perera,Mendis and Muralitharan took wickets with good economy rate. But bowling against good side of Pakistan would be different and they certainly play spinners better than most of the sides in participating in 2011 world cup. They have a settled batting order and may tempted to include one more fast bowlers against strong Pakistani batting order. Evergreen Muralitharan is there but he looks like past his best years though you cannot take his lightly in the mega cricket event. History also showed that they have played Muralitharan better than any other team ever.

Surely there would be electric environment in the R.Premadasa Stadium with hope crowd supporting the SL side at the biggest cricket stadium of Srl Lanka. Many peoples who love to check the history of cricket would remember the Sanath Jayasuriya’s 340 and Mahanama’s 225 against the Indian side. Catch the live streaming cricket world cup match on your TV sets which would be a thrilling match on Saturday between SL and PAK world cup live match.
