Pakistan and Sri Lanka teams have arrived in Lahore amid high security, where they will play the third and final T20I match of the series today in a history-making moment for the country.
The Sri Lankan team, led by all-rounder Thisara Perera after Upal Tharanga pulled out of the fixture, departed from Abu Dhabi at 10pm and touch down in Lahore around 2:25am.
Pakistan squad departed from Dubai via flight EK-622 and reached Lahore around 1:50am.
The Green Shirts already lead the T20I series 2-0, after beating Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the opening game and winning a last-ball thriller in the second T20I.
Sunday’s game will mark the homecoming of top-level international cricket as Sri Lanka become the first major cricket team to visit Pakistan since they were targeted in a deadly ambush in 2009 — with attack survivors among those returning to the scene.
It will be the first ever T20 between the two countries, which is taking place at the Pakistani soil at the Gadaffi stadium.
In the so far 17 T20 Games played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the green shirts have edge over the Lankan side by winning 12 and losing five games.
In 2007, Pakistan beat Lanka in South Africa, in 2008, Pakistan and Lanka played two matches in Canada, with Pak and Lanka winning one match each.
According to the security plan, police will conduct search operations in the vicinity of the hotel, where the team will be staying, and the Gaddafi Stadium.
According to sources, over 10,000 police officials along with Rangers will take part in search operations to ensure the safety of the visiting team.
The city traffic police has already released a comprehensive traffic plan for October 29.
Chief Traffic Officer Lahore Rai Ejaz said a comprehensive traffic plan has been chalked out to facilitate citizens and maintain smooth traffic flow on the occasion.
Under the plan, SP Traffic Sadar Division and SP Traffic City Division, besides four SPs, 17 DSPs, 80 inspectors, 203 patrolling officers, 49 lady wardens and 1800 traffic wardens, will perform their duties under the supervision of CTO.
Apart from this, five traffic squads have also been set up which will reach congested places for immediate control of the traffic.
Acccording to the traffic route plan, Canal Road, Mall Road, Jail Road, M. M. Alam Road, Maulana Shaukat Ali Road, Peco Road, Wahdat Road and Walton Road will be open for all types of traffic.
The arena is being given a fresh look to hold the much-anticipated match. Pitches are being prepared and the grass has been cut in different patterns as the ground gets a makeover.
Different enclosures are being washed and plastic chairs are getting their original colour back after dust removal. Broken chairs are being replaced with new ones.
“There is nothing much to be done as the entire stadium is in perfect condition as few weeks ago we organised the World XI series”, said a spokesman of the Pakistan Cricket Board.
“We are just taking care of the minor things and work, where it is needed and necessary”, he said.
To a question, he said the stadium will get a beautiful look in a couple of days and they are looking forward to organise the match in a befitting manner.
“Another historic moment will be added in Pakistan cricket history with the Sri Lankan team playing with Pakistan at the Gaddafi Stadium, which is the home of Pakistan cricket; [it has] organised a number of elite cricket events, including the World Cup in the past”, he said.
The official said PCB authorities, along with law enforcing agencies, are designing a security plan to further beef up security.
