Today is June 7 and the 11th match of the ICC World Cup at Bristol. Pakistan vs Sri Lanka match will be interesting to watch. Both teams want victory, which’s not to be mentioned but they are keen to get the result in their favor. Weather conditions in Bristol will be cloudy under the shades of on and of drizzling rains. However, there will be no heavy rains.
To find a result in their favor, both these Asia’s infamous teams need to bowl better. Their batsmen might play their own game and might surprise with poor performances with usual batting collapses. That’s why Pakistan vs Sri Lanka match might not be one sided. Earlier in this 2019 World Cup a few matches were one sided. Babar Azam needs to bat for a long time along with lower middle order to achieve a fighting total.
Sri Lanka on the other hand cannot play this time again as they played against Afghanistan. The match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan wasn’t one sided, where Sri Lanka had batting collapse. Mohammed Nabi ripped through the Sri Lankan innings and took three wickets in an over. However, Lasith Malinga bowled better along with couple of others to extract a good win.
Here, Pakistan vs Sri Lanka needs to make a few changes by bringing in Imad Wasim and Shaheen Afridi. Wahab Riaz and Hassan Ali needs to be dropped. Pakistan needs to experiment a bit for this match in order to look far beyond this match. The need to play more big matches, so changes are necessary.
Furthermore, Pakistan to maintain a good run rate might be looking for a big win today.
