In the Asia Cup 2023 clash between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, rain interrupted the proceedings. Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, won the toss and chose to bat in a crucial Super 4 match. Both teams made alterations to their lineups, with Pakistan introducing Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique in place of Imam-ul-Haq and Saud Shakeel, while Sri Lanka saw Pramodh Madushan replacing Kasun Rajitha and Kusal Janith stepping in for Dimuth Karunaratne.
Pakistan faced some concerns regarding their fast bowlers, as Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah were doubtful due to injuries. Consequently, they included Shahnawaz Dahani and Zaman Khan as backup options for the remainder of the Asia Cup. Zaman Khan, a 22-year-old slinging fast bowler capable of reaching speeds of up to 150 kmph, was among the new additions.
In their previous encounter, Pakistan had secured a seven-wicket victory over Sri Lanka, making them the favorites in this match as well.
