Asia Cup 2023, Super 4 Match 5 | PAK vs SL Dream11 Prediction | Team Performance | Pitch Report | Captain & Vice-Captain Choices

Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be up against each other in the fifth Super 4 clash of the ongoing Asia Cup 2023. The PAK vs SL match is scheduled to be played on Thursday (September 13) at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

The upcoming match is a virtual semifinal for both the teams. The winner of the clash will take on India in the Asia Cup 2023 final. In case, the huge match is washed out, Sri Lanka will advance to the final because of having a better net run-rate than Pakistan.

Both the teams have had a similar journey in the Super 4 stage. Pakistan began their Super 4 campaign with an impressive 7-wicket win over Bangladesh. Riding on their fast-bowlers’ impressive performance, Pakistan bowled out Bangladesh for 193 before chasing it down comfortably.

It was followed by a humiliating 228-run defeat against arch-rivals India. Pakistan were thoroughly outplayed by India as they failed to do well with both bat and ball. India posted a mammoth total of 356 for 2 before bowling out the Men in Green for a paltry total of 128.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, began their Super 4 campaign with a 21-run win over Bangladesh. It was their straight win in the competition and 13 consecutive in ODIs before India ended their winning streak. Sri Lanka did well to bowl out their fancied opponents for 213 runs but failed to chase it down.

Both Sri Lanka and Pakistan will now be looking to bounce back and seal a place in the final by winning the PAK vs SL match.
