SL-A vs PAK-A Playing 11, Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024: Probable Lineup for Sri Lanka A vs Pakistan A, 1st Semi-Final

Sri Lanka A will face Pakistan A in the first semi-final of the ACC Men’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024 on Friday, October 25, at the Al Amerat stadium in Oman.

The Sri Lankan team have been one of the best teams in the ongoing tournament, topping Group A with two wins in three matches. Despite an opening-day loss against Afghanistan A, the Lankans cemented themselves as one of the tournament favourites with back-to-back wins against Hong Kong and Bangladesh A.

Their biggest strength has been their bowling attack. Leg-spinner Dushan Hemantha has been a class apart, taking 10 wickets in the three group-stage matches, including a six-wicket haul against Afghanistan A.

Meanwhile, Pakistan A have been dominant in the group stage, with their only loss coming against India A. Since then, they have won two matches against Oman and the United Arab Emirates.

Batter Qasim Akram has been in good form, scoring 98 runs in three matches, but it is the bowling pair of Shahnawaz Dahani and Sufiyan Muqeem who have impressed the most, sharing 11 wickets between them. The clash of these strong teams promises to be an exciting match that will certainly be a treat for cricket lovers across the world.
