Both sides recently met for one of the best matches in their history of match-ups with Charith Asalanka taking Sri Lanka to the Asia Cup Finals off the Final form. They come into the second game of their World Cups with decent performances behind them. Pakistan, struggling for form had a good game against Netherlands, finding some of their lost rhythm. Sri Lanka though struggled with the ball but will be happy with their batting and with the fact that Dasun Shanaka got some time out in the middle.

PAK vs SL Key Players

Charith Asalanka

Charith Asalanka has silently become one of the best middle order batters going around. He has the most runs at number five since 2021 and was athe one who broke Pakistan’s hearts at the Asia Cup. Starting well in the current World Cup, Charith Asalanka could make the middle overs interesting given Pakistan’s spin bowling issues.

Bas De Leede has all the makings of a quality all-rounder. He has been in great form for the Netherlands this year and was a key player for them in the qualifiers.

Shaheen Shah Afridi

With Naseem out Shaheen Shah‘s job as top-order destroyer becomes very important. New ball wickets has been his speciality in recent times and with his pace he is likely to play a role even on spinning tracks.

PAK vs SL Match Tips

Pakistan are still in doubts with their form but will be backing themselves to beat Sri Lanka, who will be looking to play out of their skins to make things interesting this World Cup.

Match Prediction: Pakistan Will Win the Match

PAK vs SL Match Preview

Pakistan will face Sri Lanka in the Super Fours in Match 11 of the 2023 Asia Cup on Thursday afternoon at the R.Premadasa Stadium. The competition has been dominated by rain in recent days, but the ground staff has been fantastic and will be working hard to get the pitch ready for this match. Pakistan will want to put in a strong performance in this game not only to qualify for the 2023 Asia Cup final, but also to put their big defeat against India behind them. Sri Lanka displayed great character against India, reducing them from 80 without loss to 91-3 before dismissing them for 213. If Dunith Wellalage can bowl with the same precision, they will be difficult to beat in this game.

Topmost Picks for PAK vs SL Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Pakistan

• Babar Azam – The captain has scored 19 hundreds and 28 half-centuries across his ODI career and he is the key wicket which Sri Lanka will want to take early in his innings.
• Shaheen Shah Afridi – The quick bowler continues to be one of the top bowlers in world cricket. He is yet to go wicketless in this year’s Asia Cup.

Top Picks – Sri Lanka

• Pathum Nissanka – The right-handed opener has a top score of 137 in ODI cricket and had hit successive scores of 40+ in this tournament before a short innings against India.

PAK vs SL Probable Winners:

With India already through to the final on Sunday and Bangladesh out, the winner of this game will advance to the final. So there is a big prize for both teams if they win this game because they will be one win away from the 2023 Asia Cup trophy as well as having a chance to beat India after their losses this week. Even without Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah, Pakistan will have a strong bowling attack and batsmen. We anticipate a close game, but Pakistan will win. Considering the team combination, Pakistan is expected to win this match.

Sri Lanka and Pakistan both losing to India has resulted in a potential shoot-out for a spot in the Final against the Indians again. Sri Lanka are doing well with spin while Pakistan could be contending without two thirds of their pace trio as Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah are down with injuries.

PAK vs SL Key Players

Fakhar Zaman

Fakhar Zaman‘s form continues to be a concern. Pakistan are backing him to get back to his best and if he does they would find some really good starts up front. Zaman though looks far from doing so and may be better off spending some time out in the middle to find his timing and touchback.

Maheesh Theekshana

Theekshana has been far from his best in recent months. With Hasaranga out though Theekshana will be stepping up as the leader of the spin attack. He is their only first choice option available and his spells are going to be very important in Sri Lanka’s title defence.

PAK vs SL Match Tips

Pakistan are favorites despite the form Sri Lanka has been in.

Match Prediction: Pakistan Will Win the Match
