WORLD TWENTY20, Johannesburg:
Pakistan v Sri Lanka
Match starts at 1700 BST on Monday

Pakistan and Sri Lanka begin their Super Eights campaign when they face each other in Johannesburg on Monday.

This encounter is the only game of the day, while the other six teams - who all played on Sunday - take a break.

Sri Lanka are in top form after comfortably beating New Zealand and thrashing Kenya in the group games.

Pakistan qualified for the Super Eights after beating Scotland, and were then defeated by India in a bowl-out on Friday after a thrilling tied match.

Misbah-ul-Haq, who scored a superb 53 off 35 balls in that game, could be promoted up the batting order from number six, while Salman Butt and Imran Nazir are under pressure for their places at the top of the order.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka must decide whether to keep faith with left-arm seamer Gayan Wijekoon, who conceded 50 runs from his four overs against New Zealand.
