“The second Test match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, originally scheduled to be played in Lahore from November 17 to 21, has been relocated to Rawalpindi due to prevailing weather conditions,” said a PCB statement.
Notably, Rawalpindi is hosting the ongoing first match of the series. Pakistan are in strong position in the match, having piled up 434 in their first innings. Sri Lanka, in reply, are trailing by 320 runs.
