PAK vs SL ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Match 8 - when and where to watch, full squad details, venue, most likely playing XIs, Pitch Report, Weather and more
Pakistan will look to win this clash and build momentum ahead of their highly-anticipated showdown against India on Saturday, October 14. On the other hand, Sri Lanka will take confidence from their last-ball victory against the 'Men in Green' in the Asia Cup and try to get their campaign back on track.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, came into the tournament after being annihilated in the finals of the Asia Cup by an in-form Indian side. Like Pakistan, Sri Lanka also lost their two warm-up games against Bangladesh and Afghanistan. The Lankans are missing proven performers like Dushmantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranga. Their bowling came a
cropper in their first game against South Africa in Delhi. The Proteas scored a record-breaking 428/5 in their 50 overs, before dismissing Dasun Shanaka's men for 326.
