PAK vs SL ODI and Tri-nation T20I series revised fixtures: Rawalpindi picked as centralised venue amid security concern image

The Pakistan vs Sri Lanka three-match ODI series kicked off on November 11, with the hosts clinching the first game by six runs.

Batting first, Pakistan put up a fighting total of 299 runs and then restricted the visitors to a score of 293 in 50 overs to claim victory.

The second game of the series is scheduled for November 14, however, following a terrorist attack in Islamabad, doubts were raised about whether the series would continue. The ODI series will be followed by a Tri-Nation T20I series, with Zimbabwe joining the two Asian Nations in Pakistan.
