India's tour of Pakistan next month promises to bring in ratings and revenue bonanza for Ten Sports. As an appetiser as it were, the broadcaster will show the World Cup champions Australia touring Sri Lanka from 20 February.
Ponting's men will face a triple test with the oppressive heat, slow pitches and the wily off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan. Australia will play five one-dayers and three tests in Sri Lanka during February and March. The schedule for the one day matches is as follows:
Date | Match | Time | Venue |
20 February | 1st ODI | 2 pm | Dambulla |
22 February | 2nd ODI | 9:30 am | Dambulla |
25 February | 3rd ODI | 2 pm | Colombo |
27 February | 4th ODI | 2 pm | Colombo |
29 February | 5th ODI | 9 am | Colombo |
