SL vs PAK Preview
- With four victories in a row and momentum on their side, Sri Lanka will feel optimistic.
- It would be difficult for Pakistan because they have lost their last four matches against Sri Lanka.
- Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis, the opening batsmen for Sri Lanka, have scored more than 300 runs thus far.
Sri Lanka and Pakistan will face off once more, but this time it will be in the 2022 Asia Cup Final on Sunday night in Dubai. They previously faced off on Friday in the final match of the Super Four round. In the Super Four stage, Sri Lanka won all three of its games while Pakistan won two and fell to Sri Lanka. At the Dubai International Stadium, the Final gets underway at 18:00 local time.
Although Sri Lanka’s victories over Bangladesh in the group stage and Afghanistan in the Super Four were predicted, their subsequent triumphs over Pakistan and India have drawn attention. They will enter this encounter with a lot of confidence.
In the game on Friday, Pakistan, a team that is rarely reliable, struggled both with the bat and the ball. They have the talent in their team to win their fourth Asia Cup, and they are aiming for it.
SL vs PAK Weather Report

SL vs PAK Match Toss Prediction
Throughout the 2022 Asia Cup, no team has won the toss and elected to bat first, and we do not anticipate that to change in this match. Both skippers are likely to decide to field first and chase a target.
SL vs PAK Pitch Report
On Friday, Pakistan’s score of 121 all out was undoubtedly below average, and we anticipate a competitive score on this wicket to be above 155. For the bowlers, there will be turn, pace, and bounce.
Sri Lanka Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Coach Chris Silverwood has shown his ruthlessness by benching the ineffective Charith Asalanka and Asitha Fernando ahead of Friday’s game in favor of Dhananjaya de Silva and Pramod Madhusan despite the fact that they had just won three straight games.

Sri Lanka is the favorite to win this match.
Both sides would be under pressure to win because it is a significant final. The last few games have shown a decline in Pakistan’s performance. They must perform well to win because several of their crucial batsmen have had a bad tournament. Everyone has been pleasantly delighted by Sri Lankan performers. They are gaining momentum, which will probably make them the favorites in this matchup.
