SL vs PAK Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of Asia Cup, 2023 For Super-Four Match 5
SL vs PAK Dream11 Prediction, Match 5 of Super-Four, Asia Cup, 2023: Sri Lanka vs Pakistan Fantasy Tips, Playing XI, Player Records/Stats, Injury and Match Updates.
SL vs PAK: Sri Lanka will lock horns against Pakistan in Match 5 of Super Four of the Asia Cup, 2023 on Thursday, September 14, 2023, at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
Pakistan’s winning streak in the Asia Cup 2023 got a reality check from arch-nemesis India, who crushed them by a whopping 228 runs. India’s batters gave Pakistan’s supposedly ‘world-class’ bowlers a real run for their money. To make matters worse, Naseem Shah got sidelined with an injury, and Haris Rauf won’t be playing due to injury.
They have also benched Fakhar Zaman for the showdown with Sri Lanka, and that move screams ‘panic mode’ after getting hammered by India. This match is a do-or-die for them. If they slip up, they are out, and Sri Lanka will be the ones facing India in the final.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka is heading into this match fresh off a 41-run loss to India, but don’t let that fool you – they put up a fierce fight. Their bowlers were on fire, bowling India out for just 213 runs.
Dunith Wellalage, the spin wizard from Sri Lanka, hogged the spotlight, grabbing a fantastic five-wicket haul and top-scoring with an unbeaten 42 runs. While he was at the crease, it seemed like Sri Lanka could actually pull off the chase.
Heading into this game, Sri Lanka is gonna have a little edge over Pakistan. They know the Colombo turf like the back of their hand and boast a meaner spin arsenal compared to Pakistan. All in all, an exciting 50-overs contest beckons at Colombo.
Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for Match 5 of Super Four of the Asia Cup, 2023.
