Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Predictions

Pakistan are enjoying a good run of three T20I wins on the bounce. Sri Lanka have lost their last four T20Is and suffered a disastrous batting collapse against Zimbabwe. A Pakistan win is the only sensible bet while Sri Lanka’s batting is so brittle.

Pakistan’s Fakhar Zaman top-scored with 44 off 32 balls against Zimbabwe.
Pakistan’s Usman Khan scored 37* off 28 balls in the win over Zimbabwe.
Sri Lanka’s Dasun Shanaka hit six sixes in his 37-ball 64* against Bangladesh.
Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga (3/32) knocked over three of Zimbabwe’s top six batters.

Head-to-Head

Pakistan have won just one and lost four of their last five T20Is against Sri Lanka, although they won the most recent match by five wickets.

Pakistan Form

Pakistan made it three wins in a row when they beat Zimbabwe by five wickets with four balls to spare.

Pakistan’s batters have been in the runs in their last five matches. Aside from Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub (53, 77, 33 & 22), Usman Khan (84, 36*, 27 & 37*), Babar Azam (27, 29, 102* & 34) and Salman Agha (62, 69 & 105*) have all been in form with the bat.

Pakistan’s bowlers have been performing well, with Abrar Ahmed leading the attack with figures of 3/53, 4/27 & 3/41 in his last four matches.

Pakistan Team News

Pakistan are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Sri Lanka Form

Sri Lanka suffered their fourth straight T20I defeat when they lost to Zimbabwe by 67 runs.

Wanindu Hasaranga has been a consistent performer with bat and ball for Sri Lanka, scoring 59 and 37* and taking 3/54 and 3/32 in his last three matches.

Kusal Mendis (20 & 34), Kusal Perera (58) and Kamindu Mendis (44) have chipped in with runs in the last three matches for Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka Team News

Sri Lanka’s batting frailties are becoming a major liability. They are likely to make some changes to their top order.

Verdict

Pakistan v Sri Lanka

I am backing Pakistan to win. I am also backing Fakhar Zaman to top score for Pakistan.

Dasun Shanaka is a good bet to top score for Sri Lanka.
