Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Playing 11 World Cup 2023: PAK vs SL Lineup, Team News, Injury Update

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Playing 11 World Cup 2023: Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be locking horns in the Match 8 of the ICC World Cup 2023 on Tuesday (October 10) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

After contrasting starts to the campaign, the common goal for both teams will be to rack up two points in the match. Babar Azam and his team will be keen to shrug off their recent blues against Lankans in the Asia Cup and record a positive result at the city of Nizams.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Team News, Injury Update

Pakistan and Sri Lanka both have injury-free squads and will be putting up a stong XI for the match on Tuesday.

Pakistan had a decent outing against the Netherlands but they had hiccups in the batting lineup. It was only after Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel's partnership that they threatened the Dutch and ended up with a decent score. Sri Lanka will be a much more formidable opponent and Babar Azam and company will have to be a lot more assured.

For Sri Lanka, a dismal bowling performance against South Africa caused their downfall, but the ray of hope comes from some robust batting from the likes of Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka and captain Dasun Shanaka. It looks likely they will field the same team for the Pakistan clash as the Islanders eye for their first points.
