Ubaid Shah and Saqib Khan took wickets, but Sri Lanka warmed up for the first Test with a 142-run win over the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Patron’s XI in a three-day non-first-class match in Islamabad on Friday.

Ubaid followed up his one wicket in the first innings with three in the second, while Saqib took two in the second after taking two in the first, as Sri Lanka were dismissed for 181 in their second innings after resuming the day at 121 for six.

Set a 254-run target, the Patron’s XI were dismissed for 111 in 27.1 overs, with Mohammad Tayyab Arif scoring 32, Abdullah Fazal 21, Sameer Minhas 18 and Mohammad Taha 16. Except for Tayyab, all three are in Pakistan’s Test squad.

The Pakistan team management had said it would add two of the fast bowlers from the three-day match to the squad. No official announcement was made on Friday, but the competition for the two vacant places remains between Ubaid Shah (four wickets in the match), Saqib Khan (four), Shoaib Akhtar Jr. (three in the second innings), Ali Shabbir (three) and Mohammad Salman (two).

The first Test will begin at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Nov. 9.
