Cricket News: Pakistan VS Sri Lanka Asia Cup Super 4 preview - Catch the LIVE action
Pakistan and Sri Lanka, two teams with a winning record in the Super 4 round, will face each other in Dubai on Friday in a dress rehearsal for the 2022 Asia Cup final
Sri Lanka batting is on songSri Lanka had accomplished the unthinkable. They should be pretty pleased with themselves for defeating India in a T20I match, which is a significant accomplishment.
Sri Lanka's openers are in top form, and their bowlers consistently deliver; more significantly, their captain, Dasun Shanaka, leads from the front with both bat and ball.
There would likely be no changes to Sri Lanka, resulting in three left-handed batters in the top six.
Pakistan is dominating the Asia Cup 2022. After a close loss to India in their first game of the Asia Cup 2022, they demolished India in the Super 4 round and Hong Kong in the group stage. They won a close struggle against Afghanistan to clinch a position in the Asia Cup 2022 final against Sri Lanka.
Babar Azam hasn't been in fantastic form, but they won't be too concerned because the talented batsman will be back among the runs in no time.
Pakistan's pace trio of Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf and Mohammad Hasnain will have its task cut out in the PowerPlay.
