Pakistan team is heavily relying on their youngsters on the big stage, Yasir Shah had been excellent in the first innings in Galle. Now, Sri Lanka is all set to face Pakistani spinner once again in a second Test match.
Yasir, who bagged two wickets in the first innings, Pakistan went 1-0 up in a three Test series with a 10-wicket victory in less than four days play of the first match.
According to local media reports, Sri Lankan batsmen Kaushal Silva said, “I think when you have a good bowler, you have to put pressure on him to receive loose balls”.
“As batsmen, we have to put him (Yasir) under pressure, because if we play the same way, he’ll keep putting the ball in that same spot. If he does that, it’s difficult to play the strokes we want. If we use our feet, we should be able to get singles and two’s, and the odd four. We’ve got to rotate the strike. If we do that, he can’t settle down and bowl at one batsman.”
The right-hand batsman praised Yasir’s accuracy with the ball and said his typical leg-spinner’s variations come in handy as well.
Sri Lanka might have had the psychological advantage of Herath with them but now they are under pressure to break the Yasir code when both team face each other in the second Test at the P Sara Oval on Thursday.
