Watch Pakistan Vs. Sri Lanka Cricket Live Stream: 2nd T20 Start Time, Preview, Sri Lanka Can Clinch Series
As the historic return of international cricket to Pakistan continues with the second T20 match on Monday, a young Sri Lanka side can spoil the happy occasion for their hosts. The Sri Lanka side cruised to an easy victory in the first T20 of the three-match series, according to CricBuzz — the island country’s first T20 win over Pakistan since 2013. Now what was supposed to be a mere formality for Pakistan to take a trophy from the mostly second-string visiting side has become a fight to preserve their dignity and even the series, with a chance to win in the third and final match.
But Sri Lanka appear poised to continue their domination in the second T20, which will stream live from Lahore.
To find out how to watch a live online stream of the second Pakistan vs. Sri Lanka T20 cricket match, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article. The first ball is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Pakistan Standard Time on Monday, October 7, at the 27,000-capacity Gaddafi Stadium, in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.
In Sri Lanka and India, the match will start at 7 p.m. India Standard Time. In the United Kingdom, fans can log in to the livestream starting at 2:30 p.m. on Monday, while in the United States, cricket fans can catch the T20 cricket match from Pakistan over breakfast, with a start time of 9:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Monday, 6:30 a.m. Pacific.
The series marks the return not only of international cricket but of Sri Lanka to Pakistan after a decade. It was the Sri Lanka test team that was the target of a terror attack in 2009, that led to an international boycott of the country and caused Pakistan to play its home matches in tiger United Arab Emirates, as The Inquisitr has reported.
The T20 series win would be a morale boost for Sri Lanka, to say the least, after the islanders were beaten by their hosts 2-0, with one match washed out, in an ODI series that opened the tour, according to CricBuzz.
