Match Preview

The Super Four stage has already thrown up some exciting contests, and we are in for another cracking match as Sri Lanka and Pakistan look to earn their first points here. The single-robin format leaves very little margin of error, and both teams need to improve on their NRR as well.

Pakistan’s bowling is a concern for them. Their premier seamer, Shaheen Shah Afridi, has struggled to deliver and has also been expensive. The batting from the middle order has been inconsistent as well. Sri Lanka has fared better in comparison, but there are a few areas that need to be polished ahead of this crucial contest.
