The first One Day International between Sri Lanka and Pakistan is set to get underway at 4.30 p.m. Sri Lanka time.

Having suffered a 2-0 defeat in the longest format, Pakistan will look to channel their inner Champions Trophy winners to wrest the momentum from the visitors in the ODI series opener.

The dew that is said to have hampered the Sri Lankan spinners on day four of the day-night Test, may again be a concern. Scores of over 300 have been rare in Dubai, where the pitches often favour slow bowling.
