LIVE UPDATES – Pak vs SL, Asia Cup 2023, Super 4

Sri Lanka take on Pakistan on Thursday in a Super 4 game of the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 at the R. Premadasa stadium in Colombo for a spot in the final. The winner of the game takes on India in the final.

Rain once again played a major role and the 50-over match was first reduced to 45 then 42 overs. Pakistan batters weren’t looking that sound in front of the Sri Lankan bowling line-up. However, the sixth-wicket century stand between Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed helped them reach a good total.

Rizwan’s unbeaten 86 runs knock and death overs blitz helped Pakistan post 252/7 in 42 overs against Sri Lanka in a must-win match.
