Preview

Pakistan take on Sri Lanka in Asia Cup 2014 first match . They already play each other plenty, but having risked ostracisation from cricket's oligarchy at the Singapore meeting,Pakistan, as ever, have the better bowling side. Junaid Khan likes taking Sri Lankan wickets so much, he almost bursts a facial vein every time he does it. Sri Lanka had picked Saeed Ajmal apart during the January Tests
