Sri Lanka win toss, opt to field against Pakistan

DUBAI: Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bowl first in second One-day International against Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Pakistan had clinched a hard-fought 11-run win in the first match in Sharjah on Wednesday night after Sri Lankan tail-enders gave them a serious scare in chasing a daunting 323-run target.

Sri Lankan skipper Angelo Mathews has vowed that despite a narrow defeat, Sri Lanka will remain positive and high on confidence for Friday’s second ODI.
