Terrorist may not attack Srilanka but there's rain to attack the match, toss being delayed due to rain. That sucks, after 10 years, Pakistanis were going to take the taste of playing in home, so does visitors but rain has problem with that.
Let's see who win at the end, Srilanka or Pakistan or rain?
Its really interesting we are playing against Sri Lanka after 10 years and its most heavy rain in last 10 years so lets see what happen we already have 2019 as most worst year for cricket just because of rain may be today again rain won and we have only two ODI's for this series.

How many of you’ll think that Pakistan has paid extra money to Srilanka’s board to convince them to send their team to play?, even though this has been denied by Pakistan but can we believe them?. Now I’m hoping that all goes well and terrorists do not attack Srilankan team again, because if they do that’ll be the end of cricket in Pakistan forever.
Possibly. They might be desperate enough to do something like that. If this tour goes well, more teams could gain confidence and this could be a mutually beneficial move which makes sense in every way.

I will be checking out the scores myself, but I am not really interested in seeing a powerful team like Pakistan play against a B grade Sri lankan team currently.

If Pakistan so such things again definitely ICC will ban the Pakistan team from the International format. So they need to take strong steps because Sri Lanka is not the worst team, which they have their own good and negative side of batting compared to Pakistan.
The Pakistan cricket board has nothing to do with the security of the other team, the security must be provided my the authorities because there is already a treat and the government should take measures to make sure everything is safe, the ICC will not ban Pakistan from cricket but the ICC will not force other playing nations to play in Pakistan because of safety reasons.

So finally, the Sri Lankan team has reached Karachi. Tomorrow they're going to have a practice session and the day after tomorrow we'll get to see them in action.
So far so good. Roll Eyes
Finally the Sri Lankan team has made the bold step to fly to Pakistan where no team ever dared to do and that too after the attack against them which started everything. If there is an attack this time around that will be the biggest tragedy the sports world has seen and hopefully Pakistan will do everything in their power to provide safety for the entire team and the audience throughout the series.

Yes, and this is a courageous move from Sri Lanka. Already they've encountered an attack earlier. No other team will take such a decision, if there isn't any threat then it is OK. Now even after receiving threats Sri Lanka has taken the risk trusting the Pakistan government will give full protection throughout the stay in Pakistan. Let's pray nothing bad happens, because this time entire world will be watching the moves of Pakistan.

I am very interested to know the stand of average Pakistan citizens. I know it's disappointing for them to see the B-ish type of Sri Lankan team is visiting them but it's a start.

I would like to know if they have demands for tickets or it will be like the matches we see in New Zealand and South Africa lol. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh has this name to have full with crowd in the ground. Cricket is a crazy game there.

@Royse777 I’m not residing in Pakistan but I’m bit disappointed to see Srilankan B team for the series as I feel it’s a step down for Pakistan cricket.

Most of tickets for ODI's and Twenty/20 already sold out and most of peoples are very excited about this tour even mostly realizes its Sri Lankan B team here in Pakistan but still they have chance to watch cricket in stadium and its very good for local peoples. I was checking for few tickets as my kids also want to watch one match but sadly we have no tickets and now just staying at home and have full enjoyment.

ODI cricket returning to Karachi after 10 long years. But foreign teams had visited Pakistan during 2009-19. Back in 2015, Zimbabwe had played three ODIs and two T20 matches in Lahore. In 2017, Sri Lanka played one T20 match in Lahore (remaining matches of the series were played in the UAE). And last year, the West Indies team played three T20 matches in Karachi.

I am genuinely surprised with Sri Lanka agreeing to tour Pakistan and am expecting appropriate security arrangements have been made to tackle the threats.

Don't worry and no need to spread the Fud.
Pakistan is very safe country and we warmly welcome Srilankan team.

Pakistan would probably win this series even if the experienced Sri Lankan players were in the team which is why I am expecting Sri Lanka to lose this series, but they will definitely give them a tough fight. It will be interesting to watch how Pakistan perform after their World Cup journey.

When was the last time the terrorists attacked a sporting event in Pakistan? I am not very knowledgeable about the situation there, but I guess major cities are as safe as it could get. Obviously the Sri Lankans have reasons to be worried, as they were targeted during the last tour. But times have changed and the PCB has made better security arrangements this time.

It happened around in 2009. It has been 10 years now and I am quite sure that they have asked for good security arrangements before touring for the series.

I don't want to comment on terrorism in Pakistan but a terror attack can happen anywhere where from they can get public attention. They don't have to be in small or large cities.



Currently I find Pakistan in a better position in comparison to Sri Lankan team. Pakistan are full with good bowlers and experienced batsman while on other hand Sri Lankan team are quite out of form right now.

I expect a tough fight as both teams does not really have that experienced players though home ground advantage will with be Pakistan . So as such it would entertaining to watch out how the two teams proceed and plays though security would be the top priority for any player their .

So they (the bad guys) already raised their voice against this tour? I am not following any news, can someone bring a reference. If it's true then this is concerning.

It's a great opportunity for entire Pakistan nation and this should not be wasted because of some minor group. I am sure the loyal, patriot Pakistani citizens does not like any kind of bad naming for their country, they love cricket as much the other south Asian countries does like India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka etc.

Pakistan is well known to support terrorism to have some moral advantage against its neighboring nations and sometimes it comes back and bites their own ass and we have seen that throughout history. Bin Laden and the lost love with the US and so on and i can site many proven examples.
Can not verify your words but if we are talking about neighboring country then India is the one and in India cricket is one of the biggest business while Pakistan has lost their glory to be a cricket hosting nation.

The first ODI is scheduled for tomorrow and they have included just two cities in the tour (the three ODIs in Karachi and the three T20 matches in Lahore). I guess it will make managing the security easier, if they restrict the venues to just two. Anyway chances for anything untoward happening is very low, as recently there were no such attacks in Pakistan.

Coming to the match, I am afraid that they are going to be very one sided. The top Sri Lankan players have refused to tour Pakistan and therefore the selectors were forced to give chances to the younger, inexperienced players. For many of them, this is going to be their first foreign tour. Let's see how quickly they get adjusted to the conditions.

Talking about attack. Do these people (the attackers) really realize that ultimately they are ruining their own name? Do they really like their own country? Or they are living in a country where they don't want to live. For these group of people the entire Pakistan team is in a shithole.

They got a chance and they need to use it if they want their lost respect to get back. Hope they will use this opportunity.
If they stop supporting terror factions and make a decision to take strict action against anyone who defy the law then there might be some changes but it is highly unlikely as the military and the political system always collide in Pakistan.

Hope nothing bad happens.

Pakistan used to have a good name, as a team and as a cricket hosting nation. Now it seems they lost everything. They know it yet they are still struggling to restore the name.

They got a chance and they need to use it if they want their lost respect to get back. Hope they will use this opportunity.
