Sri Lanka will be missing several key players, including star Kumar Sangakkara and Wahab Riaz. Sangakkara is pulling himself from the action due to other commitments, while Riaz is unfortunately out due to injury. Pakistan won't have their full complement either; bowler Mohammad Hafeez will be missing as he faces testing on a suspect bowling action.
With Sangakkara and Riaz out, Angelo Mathews will be relied on to keep Sri Lanka steady in their quest to get their first win at Pallekele, where they have previously drawn three times. Mathews is an all-around contributor, but his bat will be the more valuable addition in this test.
Yasir Shah has excelled in this series for Pakistan, and will be a pivotal player if they are to top the Sri Lankans.
