Having won the preceding ODI series comprehensively by 2-0, Pakistan are looking to continue their dominance as they host Sri Lanka in the first of three T20Is at Lahore.
The Men in Green are ranked No1 in the format and will be looking to impose themselves early on the visitors who have arrived for the tour with a young squad missing several senior players.
It is the first T20I series in-charge for Misbah-ul-Haq as head coach cum chief selector and he has rung in the changes by giving international recalls to the likes of Umar Akmal, Ahmed Shehzad and Faheem Ashraf.
