Mahela Jayawardene will be the skipper for Srilanka team. They have included players like Chandimal, Dilshan, Kapugedara, Kulasekara, Malinga, Angelo Mathews and many more to name. Srilankan side looks very strong on paper and is a very hard team to beat at home.


Meanwhile Mohammad Hafeez will lead the Pakistani team in T20 format whereas Misbah Ul Haq will take care of ODI and Test team captaincy. Pakistan has good renowned players like Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Gul, Umar Akmal, Saeed Ajmal, Yaseer Arafat, etc in their squad. These players look good enough to provide a good resistance to the home team.


As far as the head to head records are concerned Pakistan has won 16 test matches and lost 9 to Srilanka. Pakistan also has an upper hand in the ODI version where they have managed to win 76 ODI matches and lost 47 so far to Srilanka. Pakistan also leads the T20 tally with 5 wins and 2 defeats against the Lankans. 


Last time they met each other for a test series in United Arab Emirates which was clinched by Pakistan (1-0). Their last ODI encounter was in Asia Cup which was won by Pakistan. They also played a T20 cricket match in UAE which again went to Pakistan. 


So overall if we have a close look at the records as well as recent form, Pakistan has an upper hand but Srilanka has the home advantage which we can't write off. Overall this promises to be an exciting cricket series between Pakistan and Srilanka.

Eng Vs WI Cricket Series 2012



England managed to clinch the top position in test cricket ICC ratings and now they take on West Indies at home. West Indies was once the most dominating team but since the mid of 90s they have really struggled to make a mark. After World Cup 2012, we have observed improvement in the performances of West Indies cricket team. But these improved performances are seen in patches.


England Vs West Indies Test Series comprises of three test matches and following is the schedule for the same:-


England Vs West Indies 1st Test match - Lord's - May 17 to May 21
England Vs West Indies 2nd Test match - Trent Bridge - May 25 to May 29
England Vs West Indies 3rd Test match - Edgbaston - June 7 to June 11


England has done pretty well in last few years. After the Ashes success and thumping India at home, they reached the apex of ICC Test rankings and also received ICC Test Championship mace. They are also at the top of ICC T20 rankings. But recently they suffered some bad defeats which had put them under the scanner. This series would help them regain some confidence and play well in future series.


Cricketing fraternity may not expect wonders from West Indies but yes for the sake of good competition, fans would expect a good tussle between the teams. Players like Darren Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Darren Sammy will have to play major roles in the team.
