Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter:
Babar Azam (Pakistan)-
Babar Azam had a great start to this Asia Cup 2023 with a brilliant hundred against Nepal, but his form has dipped in the recent matches. Against India, he looked clueless against the fiery bowling of Bumrah and company but he will be eager to put up a good performance with the bat in this match and he is too good a player to be out of form for a long time.

Probable Best Bowler:
Matheesha Pathirana (Sri Lanka)-
The 20-year-old pacer has looked quite lethal in the tournament, courtesy of his amazing control of his line and length. Matheesha Pathirana is capable of clocking 145+ regularly and that makes him a real threat for any opposition batters.
