Pakistan captain Misbah-ulHaq hopes his team can learn from its mistakes and show improvement in the 3rd ODI against Sri Lanka on Friday.
Pakistan won the first of five matches by eight wickets last week but allowed Sri Lanka to level the series with a 25-run victory in the second, on Monday.
Misbah said his team made mistakes in all three departments.
"We discussed about mistakes committed in the last game," he said. "We dropped a catch, then gave away 17 extra runs and lost early wickets while batting. So we need to overcome those mistakes if we want to win the next game."
Sri Lanka posted a challenging 235-7 on the back of UpalTharanga's 77 and MahelaJayawardene's return-to-form 50 before restricting Pakistan to 210. Misbah agreed Sri Lanka, who scored three run-outs in Pakistan's innings, were ahead in the field.
"They definitely have an edge in fielding and that's where we have to catch them because they effected good run-outs of Abdul Razzaq and ShahidAfridi," Misbah said.
Pakistan are likely to bring in pacemanSohailTanvir in place of Razzaq. Sri Lanka were also forced to summon left-arm pacemanChanakaWelegedara from Colombo after SurangaLakmal broke down with an ankle injury and was ruled out of the remaining matches.
Sri Lankan captain TillakaratneDilshan said his team is determined to carry the momentum from Monday.
The remaining matches will be played in Sharjah (Nov 20) and Abu Dhabi (Nov 23). Both teams will also play a Twenty20 international in Abu Dhabi on Nov 25.
