Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Match Prediction Preview:
Welcome to the PAK vs SL Today Prediction curated by Kheltalk cricket experts.
In match 8 of the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup 2023, Pakistan will be locking horns with Sri Lanka. This game between the two Asian giants will be taking place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Both the teams are coming on the back of contrasting fortunes. While Babar Azam and co. defeated Netherlands in their previous game, Sri Lanka lost to South Africa, in a historic match in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
The Hyderabad pitch is quite flat and placid and the spinners get a little bit of assistance. Hence, we can expect the likes of Dunith Wellalage and Shadab Khan to lick their lips ahead of this match.
