ISLAMABAD: Former Test captain Rameez Raja believes Sri Lanka would come out hard at Pakistan in the final of the ODI series saying Misbah-ul-Haq needs to be proactive and must read the game better.

Stating that Sri Lanka will have an edge over the green-shirts, Rameez said: “We have completely failed to restrict Jayawardene and Mathews in the ongoing series.”

The former Test batsman while talking to a private news channel also advised captain Misbah to bring in fast bowlers when batsmen like Jayawardene and Mathews were on the crease.
