Pakistan play their final match of their Sri Lanka tour here at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo today, when they take on the hosts in the second and final Twenty20.

Playing some top-class cricket, the visitors first knocked out Sri Lanka in the three-Test series, and then they outclassed the hosts in the five-game ODI series.

Continuing with their winning streak, Shahid Afridi and his men won the first T20 game against Lasith Malinga-captained Sri Lanka on Thursday.

Now the pumped-up Pakistan — given the manner they have fared so far on the tour — can surely end the tour with victory.
