Champions Trophy: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka at Jaipur
This match could prove to be a very interesting one indeed. With Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif not playing because of drug breaches and Inzamam-ul-Haq not eligible to play, Pakistan look very vulnerable and this could be where Sri Lanka pounce and take it right up to the Pakistanis.
Sri Lanka have won their last 14 matches in a row and with Pakistan's line-up severely depleted, Sri Lanka would have to be favourites. Get set for a corker of a game.

Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Abdul Razzaq, Abdur Rehman, Faisal Iqbal, Iftikhar Anjum, Imran Farhat, Kamran Akmal, Mohammad Hafeez, Naved-ul-Hasan, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Umar Gul, Yasir Arafat (3 to be omitted)
