Team News:
Pakistan:
Although Pakistan are not getting the service of their sensational pacer Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali, Usman Shinwari proved a vital cog for their side by taking a fifer. On the other hand, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz and Imad Wasim also performed well. While openers Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq provided a steady start, Babar Azam scored a century. However, they are expected to do well in the third game too.
Predicted Playing XI:
Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Haris Sohail, Sarfaraz Ahmed (C & WK) Asif Ali, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Usman Shinwari
Sri Lanka:
Ten players have pulled out their names from the series where the uncapped player Minod Bhanuka earned his maiden call-up. Although the series win will be difficult for them as they have come to play with a comparatively inexperienced side. However, this will be an opportunity for them to see where they stand without the obvious pool of players. Shehan Jayasuriya and Dasun Shanaka were the standout players as they both scored the fifties in the last game.
Predicted Playing XI:
Avishka Fernando, Sadeera Samarawickrama (wk), Oshada Fernando, Lahiru Thirimanne (C), Shehan Jayasuriya, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Isuru Udana, Lahiru Kumara, Nuwan Pradeep, Lakshan Sandakan

Pitch and weather report:
A flat pitch is on offer at the National Stadium with another high-scoring game is expected. Although there will be some turn and swing on offer which certainly helps the spinners to play a major part as the game progresses.
