Misbah-ulHaq will look for an improved performance from his fielders to menace Sri Lanka in the second Test which starts at the Dubai sports city stadium from Wednesday.
Pakistan snatched a draw from the jaws of a win by dropping as many as seven catches to let the Sri Lankans off in the first Test in Abu Dhabi last week, leaving the three-Test series tied.
Under Dilshan, Sri Lanka have not won a Test, losing 1-0 to both England and Australia in each of the three-Test series.
Dilshan hoped his batsmen put up a better show in the first innings.
