Match Preview:  Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1^st T20, Hambantota, Friday June 1^st 13:30 GMT (19:00 Local)

While at first glance it may seem like Sri Lanka may have the edge when it comes to achieving victory in the first T20 match against Pakistan coming up in a few short hours in Hambantota, there are several factors which work in Pakistan’s favour and may give them a slight edge over the fresh-from-the-IPL stocked Sri Lanka team.

                  Day-4 of the French open 2012 started off in a  similar fashion to day-3 as most of the top seeds claimed victories while some were surprisingly shown the exit door.

  In the men's doubles event , the team of Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and Rojer Jean Julien cruised into the second round by claiming victory  against  the team of Jonathan Dasnieres de Viegy and Nicolas Renavad in straight sets 6-3, 6-2. Aisam, however, failed to deliver much in the mixed doubles event where he got ousted in the first round by the duo of Galina Voskoboeva and Danielle Bracciali in straight sets 6-4, 6-4 . Aisam-ul-Haq has to play the final of French Open 2012 in order to  qualify for the  London Olympics 2012.
