Crickate
The match between Sri Lanka (SL) and Pakistan (PAK) is a virtual semi-final, as the winner will advance to the Asia Cup 2023 finals while the losers will be eliminated. Pakistan, presently the top-ranked ODI team in the world, suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of India in the most recent match, while Sri Lanka's 13-match unbeaten streak was also ended by India. Therefore, both teams will attempt to recover in the hopes of reaching another final.
In spite of the absence of a number of their regular players, Sri Lanka have performed admirably in the tournament thus far. In their most recent match against India, the 20-year-old Dunith Wellalage's five-wicket haul and 42* runs scored with the bat were of critical importance. Dhananjaya de Silva and Charith Asalanka have also played well, which should give them confidence before facing Pakistan.
The squad led by Babar Azam has considerable potential for improvement. Last match, their batting collapsed under pressure, which is a significant cause for concern. Fakhar Zaman's form is a further cause for concern, and Naseem Shah has been declared out for the remainder of the tournament.
The youth will be replaced by Zaman Khan. Babar and Mohammad Rizwan will have to assume a lot of responsibility while Imam-ul-Haq too will have to play a key part.
Sri Lanka will qualify for final if match gets cancelled
Asia Cup 2023 Super Four match will be played with little amount rain, according to AccuWeather, but this should not affect the game. The groundsmen will be kept occupied, but a full 50-overs game is anticipated. The forecast calls for rain in the evening and again at 8 p.m. However, it's likely to be a passing rainfall, and the game shouldn't be delayed for long.
In the event of a postponement, Sri Lanka will advance to the competition's finals due to its superior Net Run Rate (NRR).
