Tactical Trading Angles

Pre-Match: Pakistan bowling: Watch Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah for early movement and wickets. Live trigger: If Sri Lanka lose 2 wickets inside 10 overs, reassess their projected total downward.

In-Play Triggers: If SL lost 2 quick wkts, target Kusal or Kamindu runs given the starting line is below 30-33 runs. If the pitch is true as per your eye test, pull the trigger and back the 1st innings line upto 300 runs. Any team are in the game if the pitch is flat and with the arrival of due. All about timing.
