PAK vs SL Betting Tips
Charith Asalanka to score Over 24.5
Charith Asalanka has been among Sri Lanka’s best batsmen in recent matches. He has an average of close to 49 runs in the last 11 matches. He has scored at least 25 runs in 6 of his last 8 innings, including 3 half-centuries and two centuries. We are therefore backing him to play a good knock in this match.
Total Sixes in Match - Under 10.5
These are excellent odds for two teams that are not known six hitters. We saw just 6 sixes in the previous match and something similar could be in store once more. Consider this as your main wager for the match.

PAK vs SL Team Previews
Pakistan
Pakistan played well in the first ODI but survived a scare as they just narrowly managed to win the game. Nevertheless, a win is a win, and they now have the upper hand in the 3-match series.
Pakistan will likely continue with the same playing XI, where Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman will open the batting. Saim Ayub was seen struggling against the new ball and will hope to perform better in this match.
The two experienced batsmen, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, were also dismissed without causing much damage. Nevertheless, they are both quality players, and it’s just a matter of time before they get going. The all-rounders were the highlight of Pakistan’s victory.
Salman Agha scored a scintillating century and was well-supported by Hussain Talat and Mohammad Nawaz. Pakistan has a lot of depth in its batting, and that will be a big advantage for them. The team will likely continue with its seam-heavy approach of including three frontline seamers.
Haris Rauf picked up 4 wickets and will be joined by Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi. The spin department will be in the hands of all-rounders Nawaz and Salman Agha.
Pakistan Expected Playing 11
Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Salman Agha, Mohammad Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi (C), Naseem Shah, Faheem Ashraf

Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka will be disappointed with the outcome of the match on Tuesday, as they came tantalizingly close to winning but failed to cross the line. However, they have no one but themselves to blame. The team now has a chance to level the series here.
Sri Lanka got off to a steady start with Pathum Nissanka and Kamil Mishara playing well. But the team was unable to capitalize on that start. While the likes of Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, and Janith Liyanage started off well, they were unable to convert those starts into big knocks, and that cost the team the match.
Nevertheless, Sri Lanka has plenty of talented batsmen, including Kusal Mendis and Kamindu Mendis, in the middle order who can make an impact in this match.
Wanindu Hasaranga was the team’s best player, scoring a half-century and also picking up three wickets. He will be supported by Maheesh Theekshana in the spin department. The pace department will be led by Asith Fernando and Dushmantha Chameera.
Sri Lanka Expected Playing 11
Pathum Nissanka, Kamil Mishara, Kusal Mendis (WK), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka (C), Janith Liyanage, Kamindu Mendis, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, Asitha Fernando, Maheesh Theekshana
PAK vs SL Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The conditions at the Rawalpindi Stadium are usually good for batting. The surface is flat with plenty of pace and bounce. The new ball does move a bit once the batsmen settle down, and playing shots will get easier. The team batting first will look to score anywhere around 300 runs.
The surface does get a bit dry in the second half, and the spinners can expect some turn as well. The weather will remain clear with plenty of sunshine and no rain. However, we can expect some dew in the second innings.
PAK vs SA: Who Will Win?
Both teams played well in the previous match, and we are expecting another close contest on Thursday. We feel that Pakistan is being a bit over-valued here. Sri Lanka's batting is as good if not slightly better than what Pakistan has. Also, Wanindu Hasaranga is in the kind of form where he could win a match on his own.
The odds being offered on Sri Lanka make it worth your while to bet on them.
Bet on Sri Lanka to win.
| Pro Tip: Kusal Mendis was out for a duck in the previous match. He is however, a player that thrives against pace and against Pakistan, in particular. You can back him for this contest. |
