 Live updates for the 2023 Cricket World Cup between Pakistan and Sri Lanka: In the World Cup, Lanka never defeated Pakistan

Live updates for the 2023 Cricket World Cup between Pakistan and Sri Lanka: On September 14, 2023, during the Asia Cup 2023 Super Four one-day international (ODI) cricket match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Dunith Wellalage of Sri Lanka celebrates after dismissing Babar Azam of Pakistan.

Sri Lanka versus Pakistan Live updates for the 2023 Cricket World Cup: Hyderabad will be treated to a thrilling match when Pakistan and Sri Lanka, two past world champions, square off in the 2023 ICC World Cup. The city's climate and renowned cricket field have long provided an engaging match between batsmen and bowlers.

With 92 victories in 156 One Day International (ODI) games between the two nations, Pakistan has an excellent record. Sri Lanka has triumphed 59 times, on the other hand. But it's the World Cup statistics that raise questions: in their eight previous meetings, Sri Lanka hasn't been able to surpass Pakistan even once. In 2019 because to rain, Pakistan won seven games while one match ended in a tie.

Given the significance of history, Sri Lanka's recent defeat against South Africa—despite a valiant chase of 326 runs—may be influencing their perceptions. Early in the competition, South Africa's enormous score of 428 undoubtedly raised the standard. In contrast, Pakistan made a strong first impression by defeating the Netherlands by a score of 81 runs to start their campaign.

Regarding the match today in Hyderabad, quick bowlers are anticipated to enjoy the opening overs. Initially, seamers and swingers might steal the show, but as the day goes on, spin wizards will probably be in charge of setting the pace of the match. The stadium in Hyderabad has a sizable outfield, which should present difficulties for the players. The potential for batsmen to take charge will be plentiful, especially in the second inning when they may push for quick runs and turn singles into doubles.

Nature, though, might merely toss a small curveball. There may be a slight hitch in play, as indicated by the cloudy sky over Hyderabad. However, according to AccuWeather's prediction, the likelihood of rain is only 2%.

Probably XI for Pakistan:

Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Haris Rauf are all members of the team.

Probable XI for Sri Lanka:

Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka (captain), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis (wk), Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, and Dilshan Madushanka.
