The Pakistanis are the outsiders in their clash with the co-hosts.

At the halfway stage of their innings, Pakistan were 102 for three, after 25 overs.

Both opening batsmen had fallen, with Sarfraz Ahmed out for 10 and Ahmed Shehzad gone for five, while Misbah-ul-Haq steadied the innings with a 73-run partnership for the third wicket with Haris Sohail, before Misbah fell for 34.
