Babar Azam, who finally ended his long-standing century drought in the second ODI against Sri Lanka, will look to continue with his form and march on when Pakistan take the field in the third and final ODI at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Babar hit a ton after 807 days and 83 days as he played an unbeaten knock of 102, helping Pakistan chase down 289 to gain an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Shaheen Shah Afridi was unavailable in the second ODI, and in his absence, Salman Ali Agha led the side. It would be interesting to see whether the Pakistan captain makes a comeback for the final ODI. Sri Lanka would be looking to avoid a series whitewash and show some fight, gaining a consolation win to end the proceedings on a high.
Earlier, the second and third ODIs between Pakistan and Sri Lanka were rescheduled because of the attack in Islamabad. The final match of the three-game series was earlier scheduled to be played on Saturday, November 15.
