Two Asian giants – Pakistan and Sri Lanka – will clash in the 2023 World Cup in Hyderabad with both the teams not impressing much in their first games. While Pakistan did manage to defeat the Netherlands which in all probability they should have, their performance did not impress the fans. The Dutch lacked experience in their batting else we had a proper contest in our hands. Sri Lanka were hammered by South Africa with the Proteas showing no mercy on their bowlers. It is rare for a team to score above 400 in a World Cup game but Sri Lanka let it happen without much opposition. Their batting did well on the flat deck of Delhi but there is a lot of scope for improvement overall. Pakistan versus Sri Lanka will be telecasted on the Star Sports network and streamed on the Hotstar app from 2:00 pm IST. ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Points Table Updated.

Babar Azam is a key player for Pakistan and it is imperative he finds some form early in the campaign. He looked unsettled against the Dutch and got out cheaply. Against Sri Lanka, all eyes will be on the Pakistani skipper as he takes the field. Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman further compound the top-order misery for the Men in Green and this is one area that needs their most attention.

The big positive for Sri Lanka ahead of the crunch Pakistan tie is the return of ace spinner Maheesh Theekshana to the playing eleven. His wicket-taking ability at any stage of the game makes him truly special. Dilshan Madushanka and Dunit Wellalage picked up wickets against South Africa but were high on the economy rate. Kusal Mendis and Dasun Shanaka have fifties to their name already in the tournament and have a vital role to play against Pakistan.
