<p><strong>PCB Refused To Play ODI Series Against Sri Lanka! Reason Revealed:</strong> The Pakistan Cricket Team is scheduled to visit Sri Lanka in July 2023 for two Test matches against the Sri Lankan cricket team. Sri Lanka suggested scheduling a limited-overs series in addition to tests, but the PCB refused to play ODI Series Against Sri Lanka.</p>



<p>The Pakistan Cricket Board initially expressed interest in the proposal of holding an ODI series in addition to the two-match Test series but eventually reversed course. In response to Sri Lanka Cricket's expression that they are interested in hosting the full Asia Cup in 2023, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has denied their request to play an ODI series on home soil.</p>

<p>The Sri Lanka Cricket's preference to host the Asian tournament over adopting Najam Sethi's suggested "Hybrid Model" caused tension between the PCB and SLC to worsen. This strategy recommended beginning with four matches in Pakistan and advancing to the next phase in the UAE.</p>



<p>"An example of the increasingly strained relations between the two boards emerged after the PCB turned down a proposal by the Lankans to play a few One-Day International matches next month in Sri Lanka," a PCB source stated</p>

Pakistan?s Participation Also Doubtful For World Cup 2023 In India: Report</a></strong></p>



<p>Pakistan will visit Sri Lanka in July to play two Tests. The Test series will form part of the?2023?2025 ICC World Test Championship. In August 2022, the?<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Cricket_Council">ICC</a>?in a press release confirmed that the bilateral series.</p>



<p>Sri Lanka Cricket wanted to use those ODIs as pre-tournament preparation to help the team for the World Cup. It is also being said that a PCB source made some statements to PTI (Press Trust of India).</p>



<p>"It is a clear indication that the PCB is not happy with the Sri Lankan board stepping in to offer to host the Asia Cup in September when it is Pakistan's turn to host the regional event at home," a PCB source told PTI.</p>

<p>He said that PCB Chairman Sethi was unhappy with the way the boards of Bangladesh and Afghanistan responded to the Asia Cup issue. Najam Sethi also voiced his dissatisfaction with the responses from both boards.</p>



<p>"Sethi expected Sri Lanka with whom Pakistan has long had friendly relations, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to convince the BCCI and other Asian Cricket Council board members to go with the proposal put by Sethi and at least play three to four games in Pakistan of the Asia Cup before moving the tournament elsewhere," the source added.</p>

<p><strong>ICC WTC Points Table:</strong> What a win for Pakistan! Who would have thought this result after Day 2 when Pakistan were 5 down for just 101 runs? This convincing and confidence-boosting win for Men in Green pushed them to share 1st place in the Latest ICC WTC Points Table.

<p>Sri Lanka, batting first posted a total of 312 runs on the board and in response, Pakistan were 101 for 5 wickets. It was the time when it seemed that Sri Lanka had the match if they could all out Pak within the next session. But things turned around when Saud Shakeel posted a double hundred and gave Pakistan a healthy lead of 148 runs.</p>



<p>Lanka's third inning was not up to the standards and the Pakistani Bowling lineup wrapped them up in just 279 runs. Pakistan had a shaky start on Wednesday as they needed to chase down 131. Once again, Jayasuriya played a key role in the action as Sri Lanka took three early wickets. On Day 5, Pakistan had 83 to score, and Imam and Babar got off to a strong start. Due to the quick turn that was available, they lost a few wickets throughout the process, but Imam handled the situation like a veteran, struck a fifty, and led his team to victory alongside Agha Salman.</p>



<p>Pakistan won the match by 6 wickets and skipper Babar said <strong>"As a captain, I am impressed and happy with the performance."</strong> This victory put Pakistan in the joint top spot with 12 points and 100% percentage points in the WTC Points table. </p>



<p>Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are placed at the 5th spot. In the last cycle of WTC, they finish 3rd in the Points Table and would definitely like to improve their game and position as well.</p>

<p><strong>SL vs PAK Day 3:</strong> Pakistan are on top as they surpassed the trail and take a 12-run lead on Day 2 of Sri Lanka vs Pakistan 2nd test. Just a 10-over's game was possible on the rain-halted Day 2. SL vs PAK day 3 is also expected to be overcast and here, in this post, we present you the overview of day 2 and SL vs PAK Day 3 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Sinhalese Sports Club,?Colombo.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2><strong>Jump To:</strong></h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#sl-vs-pak-day-2-overview">SL vs PAK Day 2 Overview </a></li><li class=""><a href="#sl-vs-pak-day-3-weather-forecast">SL vs PAK Day 3 Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#sl-vs-pak-day-3-pitch-report">SL vs PAK Day 3 Pitch Report</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>The opening day of this Test has been thoroughly dominated by Pakistan! A brilliant show with both ball and bat from them and that has propelled them into a commanding position. After Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat, they were rocked early. ?Abrar Ahmed shone with the ball as well and finished with a 4-fer. Sri Lanka were bowled out for 166 within two sessions.</p>



<p>In reply, Pakistan lost Imam early but after that, it was a solid show from Shafique and Masood. Sri Lanka missed some chances though. They didn't take a review for lbw against Masood and that saved him and Shafique was dropped by Jayasuriya off his own bowling. Both of them kept finding the boundaries regularly. The visitors only trail by 21 runs on the Stumps of Day 1.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sl-vs-pak-day-2-overview"><strong>SL vs PAK Day 2 Overview </strong></h2>



<p>On Day 2, the morning session only allowed 10 overs of play, and rain intervened. Shafique and Babar both displayed a strong game and gave Pakistan the lead. Pakistan will be eager to maintain their bazball-type strategy since the weather forecast for tomorrow does not appear to be favorable. Shafique is very close to a century, while Babar has so far played some elegant shots in his brief stay.</p>

<p>However, there is still a lot of time left in this match, as Pakistan has a dominating lead with 8 wickets remaining. They are in terrific shape as they bowled out Sri Lanka in only two sessions and have scored more than 4.50 runs per over.</p>

<p>ACC TO WEATHER.COM, the weather is predicted to be overcast and rainy throughout the day in Colombo. As the weather websites show, there are high chances of rain for Day 3 which would affect the match. A 50+% chance of rain is predicted in the morning hours and drops to 20% at mid-noon and in the evening. It hopefully ain?t going to eat up the complete day and we can watch some action. The Temperature in the morning is expected to be around 28? C and stay around 30?C for the day.</p>



<p>Winds with a speed of around 15-17KMPH will gust towards the Southwest. Humidity will also stay at the average rate of 80%. So, the possibilities of rain are there in the morning hours but we can hope for a pretty healthy and decent part of SL vs PAK day 3 of 2nd test match.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sl-vs-pak-day-3-pitch-report"><strong>SL vs PAK Day 3 Pitch Report</strong></h2>



<p>An obvious flat track! The Sinhalese Sports Club Ground offers a batsman-friendly surface where spinners may effectively contribute by extracting turn and bounce right from day 1. On this field, bats who can successfully handle spin have an edge in terms of scoring significant runs.</p>



<p>As of now, Surface is gripping a bit but not as much that can beat the batter. Spin is helping and bowlers need to hit the right area to get a breakthrough. </p>

<p><strong>SL vs PAK Day 4:</strong> "England have Bazball so Pakistan have Pakball." This quote is making headlines as Pakistan are treating Sri Lanka the same way that England did to them. Pakistan batted beautifully and gained a massive lead of 397 runs at the Stumps of Day 3. The weather was better than what was forecasted and now all eyes are on the weather report of day 4. This post will let you know the SL vs PAK Day 4 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Sinhalese Sports Club,&nbsp;Colombo.</p>

<p>Pakistan were flawless today and played aggressive cricket. They charged selected bowlers and squeeze the maximum out of it. With their fierce stance, they stretched 12 runs lead to 397 runs lead in just a day of Test cricket and overall, it was a day of utter domination from Pakistan.</p>



<p>Agha Salman's second Test century, Saud Shakeel's record-setting half-century, Abdullah Shafique's first double hundred, and more highlights made the visitors delighted. The Sri Lankan team was let down by their batsmen on the first day, but today they made mistakes with the ball. </p>



<p>It's reasonable to say that they have been batted out of the Test, and their only option now is to continue to bat for a very long time in the hopes of salvaging a draw. Pakistan might declare overnight or they might play for one more session and extend their lead over 450 and then declare.</p>
