Pakistan v Sri Lanka PakTel cup match 1

First real test for Pakistan's top order batsmen tomorrow; Sri Lanka have 3-4 very good fast-medium bowlers who caused problems last time round to our batsmen early on. Vaaz, Zoysa and Fernando will test Yaasir and opening partner with the new ball, although if we can get a good start I think we will win. Our batting in the middle order is strong and we have the bowlers to defend a decent total. I expect a very good match between two strong sides though and am looking forward to it!

My side would be:

Salman/Farhat
Yaasir
Malik
Youhanna
Inzi
Younis (w/k)
Razzaq
Afridi
Naved Rana
Sami
Shoaib

That's 6 bowlers and batting down to no 9. Younis did well enough to earn another shot at wicketkeeping, but Moin might return at the expense of Salman. I don't know who would open in that case, probably Afridi.
