SL vs PAK: Ground Pitch Report

Pallekele International Stadium is a good wicket for the bowlers. Seamers have found movement here, while spinners have been more effective. It is not a venue where batters can play free-flowing shots and the ball is expected to grip as well.

SL vs PAK Possible XIs

Sri Lanka: Kusal Mendis (wk), Charith Asalanka, Pathum Nissanka, Pavan Rathnayake, Dasun Shanaka (c), Kamindu Mendis, Dunith Wellalage, Dushan Hemantha, Maheesh Theekshana, Dushmantha Chameera, Dilshan Madushanka

Pakistan: Salman Agha (c), Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, Babar Azam, Usman Khan (wk), Shaheen Afridi, Md. Nawaz, Salman Mirza, Usman Tariq

SL vs PAK: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

Sahibzada Farhan is the leading scorer in this tournament, and he is the only Pakistani batter who has shown good form. For Sri Lanka, Pathum Nissanka is a big wicket. His runs are crucial for them to do well.

Probable Best Bowler

Usman Tariq has proved to be the mystery bowler, and batters have found it hard to pick him. For Sri Lanka, Maheesh Theekshana has done this role and has taken wickets in the middle.

Today Match Prediction: Sri Lanka have been horrible with the bat, and they are looking clueless in this unit. Pakistan have also lost matches, but overall, they have been better than Sri Lanka. Hence, we predict Pakistan to beat Sri Lanka in this game.
