Kumar Sangakkara is in his best form hitting four
hundreds in as many games in the World Cup 2015 to make a new world record. He
took retirement from the limited over format after that and has three tests
before he says goodbye to cricket. He will play his first couple of Tests
against Pakistan. He has third best average which is 80.25 against Pakistan. He
has compiled 10 Test centuries and 11 fifties against his favorite opponents.
He will try to maintain domination over Pakistan and the visitors know they
need to dismiss him early to make a chance. Pakistan need more desperately to
get rid of the southpaw in the absence of Mahela Jayawardene to exploit
relatively weaker middle order batting of the hosts.
Abdur Rehman has the most successful history against
Sanga, dismissing him 5 times in 7 Tests at an average of 105.80. Saeed is the
second successful bowler against Sangakkara with just 4 dismissals in 14 games
at an average of 62.25. Because both of them are not playing, Junaid Khan is
the next best for Pakistan against him. Sangakkara has been successful against
all kinds of bowlers but is less impressive against left-arm pace bowlers with
career average of 58.66 falling down to mere 22.73. An interesting fact is that
Sangakkara’s average against Junaid Khan is just 22.66 with three dismissals.
It is good for Pakistan that Junaid has played mostof his Tests against Sri lanka with taking five wickets five times in Tests. He
will be trying to recover his wicket taking form against the rivals he loves to
bowel against and if he dismisses the dangerous man Sangakkara early, Misbah ul
Haq and his side may be in the position to win the Test series in Sri lanka.
