PAK vs SL Key Battles:

Saim Ayub vs. Dushmantha Chameera

Saim Ayub would like to extend the start he gets in the upcoming match against Sri Lanka, something the opener couldn’t do in the previous match against Zimbabwe.

Ayub will face the challenge of Dushmantha Chameera, who will look to pick wickets in the first six overs for Sri Lanka.

Babar Azam vs. Nuwan Thushara

Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam would like to take off in the ongoing tri-series after bowing out against Zimbabwe.

Babar will have to contend with the bowling of Nuwan Ensurea, who was a bit expensive in the team’s first match against Zimbabwe and would be looking to make a strong comeback in the next match.

Pathum Nissanka vs Shaheen Afridi

Sri Lanka’s opening batter Pathum Nissanka will need to come through and score runs for the team after getting out without opening his account against Zimbabwe.

Nissanka will face the challenge of Shaheen Afridi, who will look to get rid of him in the first round of the match, something he is known for.

Dasun Shanaka vs. Mohammad Nawaz

Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanak will play a crucial role in tackling Pakistan’s spinners while batting in the middle order as he has a good game against spin.

Shanaka will face Mohammad Nawaz, who is in excellent form with both bat and ball, and will also look to carry it in this particular match and guide his team over the line.

PAK vs. SL Key Players:

PAK– Babar Azam, Salman Ali Agha, Saim Ayub, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Nawaz

SL– Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Thushara

Conclusion

Pakistan would like to continue the good form that the team is in in the T20I format of the match by registering a victory in the match against Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, would be looking to bounce back from a disappointing batting performance against Zimbabwe.
