The game between Pakistan and Srilanka can go in favour of any team. Only 120 runs to score more but their star batter is out. A Shafique is still going strong but he alone cannot drive Pakistan to victory. Pakistan now need a good partnership if they want to win this test match. I still think Pakistan has a better chance in winning this test match.

The match was firmly within Pakistan's control, but the moment Babar Azam got out the situation turned upside down. Until then, they were on top and were comfortably cruising towards a victory. If the Sri Lankan bowlers are able to take one or two quick wickets today morning, then they will be able to wrest control of the match. And that is very much possible, given how brittle the Pakistani middle order is. Both Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan need to play sensibly. They have 90 overs and 7 wickets in hand, to get another 120 runs.
After Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan pair they also have 2 allrounders. Batting allrounder Agha Salman (management preferred him over Fawad Alam) and 1 bowling allrounder Mohammad Nawaz, he also know how to bat. They have enough batting for remaining 120 runs but again this is pakistani team, you never know. 

All Sri lanka need is 1 good spell from their spinners, the way Jayasuriya got Babar's wicket i think he's could potentially create havoc on 5th day deck.
