Sri Lanka and Pakistan will test each other's strengths ahead of the World Twenty20 tournament later this year when they clash in a two-match series starting today.
The Twenty20 games in southern Hambantota today and Sunday are a prelude to the fourth edition of the world event that will be played in Sri Lanka in September-October.
The absence of Pakistani players from the Indian Premier League (IPL) could give Sri Lanka the initial advantage at the start of the tour that also includes five one-day internationals and three Test matches.
