Sri Lanka Women and Pakistan Women meet again in Hambantota on Saturday with the tourists holding a 1-0 lead after a comfortable five-wicket win in the Dafabet sponsored series opener.
Nashra Sandhu's three for 42 gave the Women in green early impetus in bowling before Gull Feroza's 78 and Sidra Amin's 57 barely broke their stride and chased down the the target.
Feroza in particular has become the story in Pakistan's success in last few matches. She has scored four successive half-centuries and her average is nudging 87, the kind of form that makes a top order feel settled rather than simply talented.
Sri Lanka, for their part, know exactly what went missing last time out.
Vishmi Gunaratne and Chamari Athapaththu gave them the fast start any captain would want, thirty-one runs inside the first five overs, only for the innings to quietly lose its shape once Pakistan's spinners took control.
