Pakistan will go out to play with the goal of beating Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has won their last three games by batting second. They beat Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and India. They will think that if they win the last two games of the tournament, they will win the whole thing.
With only one wicket left and 11 runs needed in the last over to win against Afghanistan, it looked like Pakistan was going to lose. But they won again after getting two sixes. Pakistan will go out to play with the goal of beating Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
Dasun Shanaka’s team didn’t change from when they beat Afghanistan to when they played India on Tuesday, so we expect the same players to be available for this match. The same eleven players will want to play well to make sure they are in the final on Sunday.

Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
Pakistan was the same team that beat Hong Kong and India in their last two Asia Cup 2022 games, so they didn’t change anything before Wednesday’s exciting game against Afghanistan. Even though it might be tempting to rest some players, we think Pakistan will choose to keep going and pick the same XI again.
Mohammad Rizwan:
Who bats right-handed, has two of the four highest scores in the tournament. He hurt himself a little against India on Sunday, but he should be able to play in this match.
Naseem Shah:
A 19-year-old right-arm fast bowler, has taken six wickets in the 2022 Asia Cup. He was also the hero for Pakistan when he hit two sixes in a row to beat Afghanistan and win the game.
Haris Rauf:
Pakistan’s fastest bowler with the most experience, did a great job in the last game. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, two key players, were both out because of him.

If things had gone differently in the last over in Sharjah, Pakistan would have needed to win this game to get to the final. But Naseem Shah’s batting showed that Pakistan can never be counted out of a match.
Prediction for Sri Lanka vs. Pakistan
Even though Sri Lanka has won the last three games in this format and played better in their last game, they are still the underdogs for this match. Both teams might see this as a dress rehearsal for the final, but they’ll both want to make a statement. We think the game will have a lot of runs and Pakistan will win.
