Pakistan v Sri Lanka, final

Pakistan will take on Sri Lanka in the final of Canada T20 tournament today.

Pakistan will take heart from their fighting win over Sri Lanka on Saturday. On the other hand the Sri Lankans will be more than eager to get their act together and do well in the final. Sri Lankan team has failed to click in this tournament. In the first game against Zimbabwe they won unconvincingly while they lost their second game to Pakistan.

For the final Sri Lanka will be hoping that they give a much improved team effort rather than relying on individual performances. No doubt players like Sanath Jayasuriya and Ajantha Mendis will have to play key roles but others will also have to chip in and give a united effort.

Skipper Mahela Jayawardene should come up the order. Although Pakistan have a 100 per cent win record against the Lankans in 20-20 cricket but the pressure of a final can affect even the best of sides.
