Pakistan will aim to maintain their perfect run ahead of the final of the ODI Tri-Series when they face Sri Lanka in Lahore on Tuesday.
With three wins thus far -- victories over Sri Lanka by 37 runs and over England by 87 runs followed by their one-wicket triumph over England in a tough chase -- the hosts have already qualified for the October 31 final.
On the other hand, hoping to qualify for the final against Pakistan, Sri Lanka will look to build on their stunning two-wicket win over England chasing 430.
After gaining two points from two matches, the October 27 encounter at Lahore is therefore vital for the Lankans as they try to make it two wins from two matches before facing England on October 29.
