Sri Lanka makes three changes and elects to bowl first in the second T20I in a must-win match, while Pakistan makes one change for the same game. Pakistan replaces Razaullah, a right-arm quick, with Salman Mirza, a left-arm fast bowler, for their playing XI.
Across the reports, Sri Lanka’s decision to bowl first is presented alongside their multiple squad adjustments, with ESPN Cricinfo focusing on Sri Lanka’s three changes and the match context as must-win. The Express Tribune similarly notes Pakistan’s one forced/selection change and confirms Sri Lanka’s choice to bat second after winning the toss. Both sources align on Salman Mirza’s inclusion for Pakistan and on the toss outcome.
