The showdown between the Pakistani pacers and the Sri Lankan spinners
This World Cup will be characterized by batters with sound technical skills and strong temperament scoring substantial runs, ultimately becoming the decisive factors in matches. It’s a testament to proper ODI cricket!
Easy Win if We Bat Twice
Pakistan has never chased 265+ scores in a WC match while Sri Lanka has never defeated Pakistan in a ODI World Cup match. One of these statements will become null after today’s match.
Pakistan needs to limit Sri Lanka to a score below 330 if they want to have a chance at winning. Otherwise, it’s going to be very challenging. But being optimistic: No matter how much Sri Lanka scores, Pakistan will win comfortably, don’t forget the dew factor, mate. Dew is definitely going to play a role.
