Mathews' mopping act salvages Sri Lanka again

Karunaratne's lone march leaves SL with deja vu

A Sri Lankan left-hand batsman made a big score amid a batting collapse, and at the end of the day, his team was somehow still heading towards an underwhelming total. Sounds familiar?

Prasad 2.0, up and running

Adverse venue awaits shaky hosts

If there is a home venue Sri Lanka would prefer not to head to after a loss, it would be the P Sara Oval in Colombo. On each of the last three occasions Sri Lanka have played here, they have lost. And unlike those times, they trail Pakistan 0-1 now
