SL vs PAK 2023: 2nd Test Day 2 Stumps, Pakistan is at 178/2 and Lead by 12 runs | Sri Lanka vs Pakistan 2nd Test 2023

SL vs PAK Day 4: "England have Bazball so Pakistan have Pakball." This quote is making headlines as Pakistan are treating Sri Lanka the same way that England did to them. Pakistan batted beautifully and gained a massive lead of 397 runs at the Stumps of Day 3. The weather was better than what was forecasted and now all eyes are on the weather report of day 4. This post will let you know the SL vs PAK Day 4 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Sinhalese Sports Club,&nbsp;Colombo.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Jump To:</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#sl-vs-pak-day-4-weather-forecast">SL vs PAK Day 3 Pitch Report</a></li><li class=""><a href="#sl-vs-pak-day-4-pitch-report">SL vs PAK Day 4 Pitch Report</a></li></ul></nav></div>



Pakistan were flawless today and played aggressive cricket. They charged selected bowlers and squeeze the maximum out of it. With their fierce stance, they stretched 12 runs lead to 397 runs lead in just a day of Test cricket and overall, it was a day of utter domination from Pakistan.



Agha Salman's second Test century, Saud Shakeel's record-setting half-century, Abdullah Shafique's first double hundred, and more highlights made the visitors delighted. The Sri Lankan team was let down by their batsmen on the first day, but today they made mistakes with the ball. 



It's reasonable to say that they have been batted out of the Test, and their only option now is to continue to bat for a very long time in the hopes of salvaging a draw. Pakistan might declare overnight or they might play for one more session and extend their lead over 450 and then declare.



Down below is the SL vs PAK Day 4 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Sinhalese Sports Club,&nbsp;Colombo:

ACC TO WEATHER.COM, the weather is predicted to be slightly overcast throughout the day and probably the sun will be out in Colombo. As the weather websites show, there are quite low chances of rain for Day 4 which would not affect the match as such. A 512% chance of rain is predicted in the morning hours and drops to 8% at mid-noon and in the evening. It hopefully ain?t going to interrupt the game on Day 4 and we can watch some action. The Temperature in the morning is expected to be around 29? C and stay around 30?C for the day.



Winds with a speed of around 15-20KMPH will gust towards the West-Southwest. Humidity will also stay at the average rate of 80%. So, the possibilities of rain are there in the morning hours but we can hope for a pretty healthy and decent part of SL vs PAK day 4 of 2nd test match.<a href="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/plugins/gumlet/assets/images/pixel.png"></a>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sl-vs-pak-day-4-pitch-report">SL vs PAK Day 4 Pitch Report</h2>



An obvious flat track! The Sinhalese Sports Club Ground offers a batsman-friendly surface where spinners may effectively contribute by extracting turn and bounce right from day 1. On this field, bats who can successfully handle spin have an edge in terms of scoring significant runs.



The stump line is breaking down and the pitch appears to be dry. Spin will become more crucial as a result of the wear and tear that these footmarks. The Pacers may pose a threat if the balls land in those regions.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Match Highlights, Check the Updated Points Table of the ICC World Cup 2023

Pakistan vs England: The first day of the opening Test-Match between Pakistan and England came to an exciting end with the Shaheens posting a score of 328-4 on the board.



Thanks to skipper Shan Masood's century on the first day of play at the Multan Cricket Stadium, the Green Shirts rebounded excellently in the first Test against England on Monday.



Having won the toss and chosen to bat first, the national team was dealt an early setback when opener Saim Ayub (4) was caught behind off the bowling of Gus Atkinson.



However, captain Shan Masood and opening batter Abdullah Shafique stitched a partnership of 114 runs for the 2nd wicket to help their team reach a score of 122-1 at lunch.



The 1st day of the 1st test ended with Pakistan putting up a score of 328-4 on the board with the duo of Naseem Shah (0 runs in 3 deliveries) and Saud Shakeel (35* runs in 72 balls) unbeaten at the crease.



The ongoing three-match Test-Series between Pakistan and England is a part of ICC?s WTC (World Test Championship) 2023-2025 cycle.



Earlier in the game, Shan was adjudged LBW by the umpire off the bowling of debutant pacer Brydon Carse. However, the Pakistani skipper took a review immediately and his decision payed off as the verdict got overturned as replays showed that the ball had pitched outside the leg-stump.



Shan then ran two quick runs and brought up his half-century in 43 deliveries.



Opener Abdullah Shafique was given a lifeline when he was batting on 35 runs as he opted to take a risky-single and Ollie Pope, the stand-in skipper of England, missed the stumps by a very small margin with his direct throw.



Despite missing the run-out opportunity, Pope made up for it as he caught the catch of Shafique in the 60th over off Atkinson as the opener walked back to the pavilion after scoring 102 runs in 184 deliveries, which included 10 fours and two huge maximums.



Pakistan?s other opener Saim Ayub didn?t have a good outing with the bat as he made just four runs and got out early.



Moreover, the best-batter of the day, Shan Masood was dismissed by Jack Leach in the 63rd over, after scoring 151 runs in 177 deliveries, with the help of 13 fours and two maximums.



Babar Azam, batting at number four, came on the crease with the motive of scoring 50+ runs but ended up scoring just 30 runs in 71 deliveries as Chris Woakes got the better of him by catching him plumb in front of the stumps.



The duo of Jack Leach and Chris Woakes picked up a wicket each while fast-bowling All Rounder Gus Atkinson dismissed two batters.

Pakistan has announced the playing XI for the first Test against South Africa. The Boxing Day Test between the teams will begin on 26th December at the Supersport Park in Centurion and will be part of the ICC World Test Championship as well. 
Pakistan has made a bold call related to their playing XI for the first Test against South Africa. The Shan Masood-led side has dropped solid opener Abdullah Shafique for the first game, especially after he failed in the ODI series. The batter bagged three ducks in three games. 
With Abdullah Shafique not playing, Pakistan will be opening with skipper Shan Masood. It will no doubt be a massive Test for the batter, as opening the innings in South Africa isn't an easy task. He will be there at the top along with Saim Ayub, who slammed two centuries in ODIs. 
Babar Azam will be batting at No.3 and will be making his comeback into the team after being dropped from the England Tests. It will be a great opportunity for him to reclaim his place in the team and prove his prowess with the bat in the two-match series. 
Kamran Ghulam, who slammed a debut on a century, also has made the cut into the team for the Test against South Africa. Vice-captain Saud Shakeel and keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan will be handling the middle order duties along with Salman Agha, who will be spin bowling all-rounder. 
The pace department for Pakistan is pretty solid, as Aamer Jamal will be the seam-bowling all-rounder. Khurram Shahzad, Naseem Shah and Mohammad Abbas will be the three Frontline pacers in the team for the first Test against South Africa. 
<h2>Pakistan playing XI for the first Test against South Africa </h2>
Here's the Pakistan playing XI for the first Test against South Africa: 
Shan Masood (c), Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel (vc), Salman Ali Agha, Aamir Jamal, Naseem Shah, Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Abbas.

Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.
Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.
Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form
Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.

Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.
In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.

The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.
MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.
Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.
Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.

Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.

In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.
 
The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.
Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.
But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.

players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.
Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.
In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.
