Pakistan is set to clash with Sri Lanka in the third Super 4 game of the ongoing Asia Cup. The much-anticipated match is scheduled to take place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on September 23 (Tuesday).

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka: Recent Form

After conceding a humbling defeat against the Indian side, Pakistan will look to turn over a new leaf as they hope to steadfast their Super 4 campaign by registering a dominant win over Sri Lanka. Pakistan’s batting has been largely inconsistent throughout the tournament, forcing the team to rely on individual players like Shaheen Shah Afridi and Sahibzada Farhan to see the game through. Their bowling, particularly spin, struggled against India.

When compared over their record in the tournament so far, Sri Lanka comes out as the slightly better team with only one defeat to their name in the Asia Cup campaign so far. Coming off an unbeaten run in the group stages, Sri Lanka faced a surprise defeat against Bangladesh in their Super Four opener, exposing some vulnerabilities, particularly in defending a total.
