The second ODI between Pakistan and Sri Lanka which was set to be played at National Stadium in Karachi has been rescheduled from 29 September to 30 September.

Both Pakistan Cricket Board and Sri Lanka Cricket have agreed to this change in schedule.

This has been done to give the ground staff some extra time to ensure that the playing conditions are better after the first match was washed out due to rain.

According to a report by Cricbuzz, Zakir Khan, PCB Director - International Cricket, said on Friday "This week's unseasonal heavy rains have forced us to review the series schedule. I am thankful to Sri Lanka Cricket as well as our host broadcasters for agreeing to amend the match schedule to ensure there are no further abandonment due to rain in what is an important bilateral FTP series for Pakistan.”
