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

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.
