Pakistan meet the visitors Sri Lanka team for the thrid and final terst at at Sharjah Cricket Stadium from Thursday today onward in a bid to recover the 1-0 loss from the two test played so far with one drawn.
The Sri Lankan batsmen and the pitches have made it difficult for Pakistan's spinners to bring any meaningful harm to them and have come up with tons of runs to give bigger targets to Pakistan. Pakistan's spinners, specially ajmal are already feeling frustrated as the pitches are not providing them enough spin to show their spinning craftwork. Ajmal in the last test has been wicketless for 49 overs and have bagged only five wickets so far.
Pakistan's captain Misbah is feeling frustrated too as this is Pakistan's fifth series since trouncing England 3-0 almost two years ago, but they are yet to record another series win. Unless Pakistan's top order line play responsibly, the chances of winning the last test could become bleak.
We wait and watch hours from today and see whether Pakistan's batsmen have a resolve to win or throw away the thrid test too to the Islanders.
The probable opposing teams for the first test match at Abu Dhabi may be as under:
Pakistan: Misbah-ul-Haq*, Abdur Rehman, Adnan Akmal†, Ahmed Shehzad, Asad Shafiq, Azhar Ali, Junaid Khan, Khurram Manzoor, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Talha, Rahat Ali, Saeed Ajmal, Shan Masood, Umar Gul, Younis Khan
Sri Lanka: AD Mathews*, LD Chandimal, RMS Eranga, N Pradeep, MVT Fernando, HMRKB Herath, DPMD Jayawardene, HAPW Jayawardene†, FDM Karunaratne, KMDN Kulasekara, RAS Lakmal, MDK Perera, MDKJ Perera, KC Sangakkara, SMSM Senanayake, JK Silva
Umpires RA Kettleborough and S Ravi
The third test is scheduled for Jan 16-20, 2014 daily at (10:00 local | 06:00 GMT | 11:00 PKT) at Sharjah Cricket Stadium

Pakistan and Sri Lanka having equalised the 5-ODI series 1-1, meet again at Sharjha Sunday today afternoon to solidify their position in the ongoing matches being played on the neutral venue in the UAE.
Batting from both sides has been solid and high scoring - it is the bowlers who will make the difference to tilt the weight on either side.
Pakistan's Junaid Khan is an emerging superb fast-bowler. He averages 22.93 after 39 matches - a far superior average to Dale Steyn, James Anderson and Stuart Broad. He bowled a series of cracking balls in an already terrific spell to waylay Sri Lanka's middle order on Friday, but the men around him in the attack could not provide adequate support. Sohail Tanvir has been mediocre in the last two matches, and Pakistan may consider bringing in Anwar Ali as a replacement. They are almost certain to leave the firing top order untouched.
In the opposing camp, Kulasekara has eight more wickets than Malinga this year, at an average of 25.33 to Malinga's 30.02. Kulasekara's economy rate is also significantly better at 4.64 to Malinga's 5.34.
So it is going to be the bowlers' day today to show their mettle to favour their camp in winning the series.

The two leading Asian cricket teams of Pakistan and Sri Lanka begin their five-match, one-day series at famous Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
Pakistan have shown against South Africa recently that they have a really solid group of players who, despite still blowing hot and cold, can perform when it matters and pull them out of tough situations.
Sri Lanka have just had an indifferent series against New Zealand with a mixed bag of results, winning one, losing one and having another game rained out. Both sides play a unique brand of cricket that can be as nerve-wrecking as they are exciting.
It may be added that since 1975, both countries have played 132 ODIs with the edge in Pakistan's favour of 77 wins and 50 losses. One match ended in a tie and four ended without any results.
Both teams are in good form as they levelled the two T20I series 1-1 earlier this month played at Dubai.
Opposing Squads:Pakistan squadMisbah-ul-Haq (capt), Mohammad Hafeez, Sharjeel Khan, Ahmed Shehzad, Sohaib Maqsood, Haris Sohail, Asad Shafiq, Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman, Junaid Khan, Anwar Ali, Sohail Tanvir, Bilawal Bhatti
Sri Lanka squadAngelo Mathews (capt), Dinesh Chandimal, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Rangana Herath, Dimuth Karunaratne, Nuwan Kulasekara, Suranga Lakmal, Lasith Malinga, Ajantha Mendis, Kusal Perera (wk), Thisara Perera, Seekkuge Prasanna, Ashan Priyanjan, Kumar Sangakkara, Sachithra Senanayake, Lahiru Thirimanne, Kithuruwan Vithanage

Pakistan, having beaten the Sri Lankans in the first T20I by three wickets, plays its second T20I against the Islanders at Dubai International Cricket Stadium Friday 13 December tonight.
The performance of Pakistan team clearly showed that though Sri Lanka may be the top-ranked Twenty20 side for now, Pakistan were clearly the better-drilled and more fluent outfit, after their tough series against South Africa.
The winning of first T20I was largely attributed to Shahid Afridi's superb batting, which recently had witnessed a decline. However, it seems that he is now concentrating on batting as well, beside his bowling.
"In the last four-five years, I've been focusing on my bowling. But I know how important my batting is for us, and I have to thank Mohammad Hafeez, who keeps saying, "You're still the best. Keep going and play your natural game," said Afridi after the first T20I.
If Pakistan win this match, they become the No. 1 ranked T20I side in the world, sending Sri Lanka to second alongside India and South Africa.
Opposing Teams:Pakistan squad: Mohammad Hafeez*, Usman Khan, Ahmed Shehzad, Anwar Ali, Bilawal Bhatti, Haris Sohail, Junaid Khan, Saeed Ajmal, Shahid Afridi, Sharjeel Khan, Sohaib Maqsood, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Akmal†, Umar Amin, Zulfiqar Babar
Sri Lanka squad: LD Chandimal*, TM Dilshan, KMDN Kulasekara, RAS Lakmal, SL Malinga, AD Mathews, BAW Mendis, MDKJ Perera, NLTC Perera, S Prasanna, RLB Rambukwella, KC Sangakkara†, SMSM Senanayake, HDRL Thirimanne, KDK Vithanage
