The current top-ranked ODI side in the world, Pakistan, was humiliated by India in the most recent game, and India also ended Sri Lanka’s 13-match winning streak in that contest. Therefore, both sides will try to recover in the hopes of reaching yet another final.
Sri Lanka has played some outstanding cricket in the competition thus far, even in the absence of some of its usual stars. In their most recent game against India, Dunith Wellalage, 20, played a crucial role for them by picking up an outstanding five wickets and scoring 42* runs while bowling. Prior to playing Pakistan, Dhananjaya de Silva and Charith Asalanka both displayed strong cricketing performances.
The Babar Azam-led team, however, still has a lot of opportunity for growth. In the most recent game, their batting crumbled under pressure, which is a serious problem. In addition, Naseem Shah has been ruled out of the duration of the competition, which raises concerns regarding Fakhar Zaman’s form. The child will be replaced by Zaman Khan. Imam-ul-Haq will also need to play a significant role in addition to the heavy duty that will fall on Babar and Mohammad Rizwan.
If washout occurs, Colombo, Sri Lanka’s weather will compete for best.
Tomorrow’s Asia Cup 2023 Super Four match will take place in the rain, according to AccuWeather, but it shouldn’t have an impact on the game. Although a lengthy 50-over game is anticipated, the groundsmen should be busy. The forecast is for more rain in the evening and at 8 o’clock.
