Teams for Sharjah curtain raiser changed

Sri Lanka will now play Pakistan in the first game of the CBFS triangular tournament next week (October 26) following a last minute change to the itinerary.

According to the previous itinerary, Sri Lanka were to face Zimbabwe in the first encounter.

Friday is a holiday throughout the Middle East and traditionally attracts the best crowds in Sharjah, most of whom are keen Pakistani fans. They will be delighted with the change.

The Zimbabwe-Sri Lanka match has been shifted to the following day. Originally, Pakistan were to play Sri Lanka on Saturday.

However, there's been no change to the rest of the matches.

All the matches will be day-night encounters and will commence at 4:30 pm local time and end at 12:15 midnight.

The Sri Lankan side will be leaving to Sharjah on Sunday.
