The first ODI is scheduled for tomorrow and they have included just two cities in the tour (the three ODIs in Karachi and the three T20 matches in Lahore). I guess it will make managing the security easier, if they restrict the venues to just two. Anyway chances for anything untoward happening is very low, as recently there were no such attacks in Pakistan.

Coming to the match, I am afraid that they are going to be very one sided. The top Sri Lankan players have refused to tour Pakistan and therefore the selectors were forced to give chances to the younger, inexperienced players. For many of them, this is going to be their first foreign tour. Let's see how quickly they get adjusted to the conditions.
