Dimuth Karunaratne Believes That Pakistan Is Far Better Than Australia In Test Cricket- Check Why: Sri Lanka’s Test captain Dimuth Karunaratne said the hosts’ scintillating victory in the second and final Test against Australia has boosted their confidence and will help them in the upcoming Test series against Pakistan.
The Sri Lankan cricket team registered a massive victory of an innings and 39 runs against Australia. Now Sri Lanka is ready to host the Pakistan cricket team in a two-match Test series from July 16.
Pakistan series will be more challenging than Australia: Dimuth Karunaratne
Spinners dominated Galle from both teams during Sri Lanka vs Australia Test series. Dimuth Karunaratne believes facing Pakistan will be more challenging than the Pat Cummins-led side. As Babar Azam and his team play well against spin, it would be tricky to bowl them.
Dimuth Karunaratne said: “The first Test against Pakistan will be played in Galle, where the last two matches against Australia were played. I think it is a massive advantage for us to play three games in a row at the same venue Because this will be a new ground for Pakistan.
However, we are not taking the Pakistan cricket team lightly. Pakistan is a very talented team with good teams in all formats. Both the teams are from the Asian region, so the fans will get to see a tough fight in the upcoming series.
Our confidence level is different after our big win over Australia, and I hope we will give a tough fight to Pakistan. Pakistan is a strong and excellent team. I think facing Pakistan will be more challenging than Australia because they play spin well.”
