PAKISTAN vs SRI LANKA: Match Preview
This is going to be the twelfth match of the Asia Cup 2022 where Pakistan will go head to head against Sri Lanka before the all important final between the two sides. Pakistan are devoid of match practice. They have only played four T20I’s in 2022 thus far against Australia and India and on both instances, they faced defeat. They crushed India in their first game of super four which was last over-thriller so that should do a lot to their confidence. Babar Azam and his men will be ready to take on Sri Lanka in this inconsequential contest.
Sri Lanka on the other hand have have lost every T20I series they have played in 2022. Lanka will be looking to break this loosing streak by beating Pakistan in dead rubber. They crushed India in the all important super four clash a couple of days back so that will help Sri Lanka build the much needed momentum. Dasun Shanaka will want every member of his team to step up and deliver on the big stage. Sri Lanka are looking a formidable side on paper given the balance they have maintained in their squad.
