Pakistan, who last played serious competitive cricket more than two months ago, ran through Sri Lanka, many of whose players - in theory, at least - should have been in T20 groove after having played a lot of IPL. The IPL challenge, though, doesn't involve anything remotely close to the quality of the Pakistan bowling. It took the best eighth-wicket partnership in T20 international cricket, 43 between Thisara Perera and Nuwan Kulasekara, to give Sri Lanka a fighting chance.

Shahid Afridi and Umar Gul are the leading wicket-takers in T20Is, and Saeed Ajmal's variations become even more dangerous when the batsman is under pressure to score quick runs. Given such resources, you really don't want Sohail Tanvir to be on song if you are the batting side. Unfortunately for Sri Lanka, that's what happened. In his first three overs, Tanvir removed Mahela Jayawardene, Tillakaratne Dilshan and Kumar Sangakkara.
