First test Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 2023

 Pakistan emerged victorious in the first test against Sri Lanka. Great batting by Saud Shakeel, hard work, incisive bowling and great fielding and catching were the reasons for Pakistan win.

Inspite of Babar Azam. Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafique failing with the bat in both innings Pakistan won. 

Despite having Sri Lanka at 65 for 4 in their first innings Sri Lanka recovered to 312 total in their first innings. 

In the end I would like to say Pakistan have found a great dependable batsman like Saud Shakeel who has had a phenomenal start to his career. Pakistani bowling and fielding was also sharp in the first test but I am not sure Pakistan will win the second test as well as Pakistani teams in recent past tend to relax after a win in their first match. 

Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka 2023

 Sri Lanka start as clear favourites over a struggling Pakistani test side. Sri Lanka not only hold the edge over a pathetic test team like Pakistan but are clear favourites to whitewash Pakistan having home conditions advantage.

Pakistani batsmen play old fashioned defensive cricket which has been replaced by attacking shots type of batting that the English men or Australians play. 

Pakistani bowling lacks experience and penetration. They don't have any quality spinner in their side and Abrar Ahmed is a novice in international cricket. 

I must say Sri Lanka are a better test team than Pakistan and they start the test series as clear favourites over Pakistan.
