Pakistan is well balanced team and inclusion of Razzaq has strengthened their winning chance. Pakistan team includes Afridi who has done recently absolutely fantastic for Pakistan and has won for them with single handed. Shahid Afridi is known for his fast strike rate and that could be worry for Sri Lankans. Pakistan also has one of the best captain - batsman Younis Khan who can workout on situation and can play sensibly.

From Sri Lankan side Tilakratne Dilshan is in great form. Sanath Jayasurya is known for his quick fire batting. Middle Order batsman Jayawardne, Kumar Sanagakkara can play for a long time.
