The drawn Twenty20 series in Hambantota, in which there was small to divide the teams, has set up the five-ODI competition. The outline of both T20s was the same: the batsmen made just enough runs and the bowlers used the swing and seam available in the evenings to defend lowest targets. Sri Lanka will hope to improve the recent head-to-head record, having lost five of their last six ODIs to Pakistan.
Four of those defeat were in the UAE in 2011, a visit in which Pakistan were superior across formats. Sri Lanka's batting had depended heavily on Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara and the rest were not capable to build on their foundations. Sri Lanka found stability late into their tour of South Africa, where they won two dead rubbers, and made the finals of the CB Series in Australia, at India's expense.
