Pakistan aim to learn from mistakes vs SL
Dubai: Pakistan captain Misbah-ul Haq hopes his team can learn from its mistakes and show improvement in the third one-day international against Sri Lanka on Friday.
Pakistan won the first of five matches by eight wickets last week but allowed Sri Lanka to level the series with a 25-run victory in the second, on Monday.
Misbah said his team made mistakes in all three departments.
"We discussed about mistakes committed in the last game," he said. "We dropped a catch, then gave away 17 extra runs and lost early wickets while batting. So we need to overcome those mistakes if we want to win the next game."
Sri Lanka posted a challenging 235-7 on the back of Upal Tharanga's 77 and Mahela Jayawardene's return-to-form 50 before restricting Pakistan to 210. Misbah agreed Sri Lanka, who scored three run-outs in Pakistan's innings, were ahead in the field.
"They definitely have an edge in fielding and that's where we have to catch them because they effected good run-outs of Abdul Razzaq and Shahid Afridi," Misbah said.
Pakistan are likely to bring in paceman Sohail Tanvir in place of Razzaq. Sri Lanka were also forced to summon left-arm paceman Chanaka Welegedara from Colombo after Suranga Lakmal broke down with an ankle injury and was ruled out of the remaining matches.
