Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Live Score, Asia Cup 2023 Updates: On September 14, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are set to clash, and the victor will have the honour of facing India in the final of the Asia Cup 2023. However, it’s not just the teams drawing attention; Colombo’s erratic weather is also in the spotlight.
The two sides have a history of 155 matches against each other, with Pakistan emerging victorious 92 times and Sri Lanka 58 times. A single match has concluded in a draw.
Intermittent thunderstorms are forecasted, threatening to disrupt the match at various intervals. With a 96% cloud cover anticipated, rain is likely at 9 AM, 2 PM, 5 PM, and 8 PM local time.
Colombo’s unpredictable weather could significantly affect the virtual semi-final. Given that rain has already marred most games in the Super Four stage, this poses a rising issue for both teams. For instance, the match between India and Pakistan required an extra day, while the game featuring Sri Lanka and India experienced a brief halt.
Pakistan’s playing 11 against Sri Lanka has been released. Here is the team: Mohammad Haris, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed Shadah Khan (vc), Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Wasim Jnr and Zaman Khan. Ace fact bowler Naseem Shah and renowned batter Fakhar Zaman are missing from the list.
Mohammad Haris, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jnr and Zaman Khan get the chance to prove themselves.
