The Dimuth Karunaratne-led side now await the Pakistan challenge, with Babar Azam at the helm ready to take them on at very venue – the Galle international stadium, where the former handed Australia an innings defeat to draw the Test series 1-1.
With the first of the two-match Test series starting today, the visitors have surprisingly decided to play three fast bowlers, on a track which has continuously assisted the spinners match after match. Pakistan do bring back their champion leg-spinner Yasir Shah though, who returns to the side after almost a year.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are likely to go in with three spinners, the attack which led the way against Australia recently.

As per Accuweather, the sun is expected to shine nice and bright during the start of play, but with only around an hour into the morning session, there is a forecast of rain with 40% chances of the same.
While the sun would hide back into the clouds from here on, clouds would engulf the entire stadium till the time of stumps on day 1 of the first Test between the two Asian rivals.
The temperature is likely to remain ‘hot’ the entire day with ‘extremely humid’ conditions in store as well.
All in all, barring the maximum of an hour delay during the morning session, expect the rain Gods to not mark their further presence during the entire day of the Test.
