Sri Lankan Pesar Matheesha Pathirana is set to remember the upcoming stability against Pakistan in the 2025 Super -4. He missed the team practice session during the last two days and is currently under medical treatment.
Sri Lanka launched its Asia Cup 2025 Super -4 campaign against Bangladesh, but despite defeating him in a group -phase game, Bengal tigers on Saturday gave the former champion a major thrashing.
Lankan won the Asia Cup in 2022, the last played in the T20I format; Therefore, he can also be called the defending champion of the Asia Cup T20.
Medical bulletins of Matheesha Pathirana were released; Miss Pakistan game launched Pacer in Asia Cup 2025
The upcoming match against Pakistan is a very important game for both Pakistanis and Lanka as well as both. Sri Lanka must win this match to survive in the Asia Cup; However, whichever team loses will find itself in a very difficult place to keep their final hopes alive.
In the midst of this, Sri Lanka is in the midst of another crisis, as Pesar Matheesha Pathirana has been reported to be unwell and therefore, is not available for selection for the match against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi.
Pesar has not been informed of being injured; There may be some other forms of the disease. However, he missed the previous game against Bangladesh, as Dushmanatha Pathirana turned him into a shee. Currently, they have not participated in team practice for the last 2 days and are subject to medical treatment.
Nuwan Thaushara in the form of frontline pacer; To convert Dashanatha Chanera or Mahesh Thekshana to Pathirana to XI
Apart from the young Pathirana of CSK, Lankan also likes other pacers Nuwan Itra and Dusamatha Chamera. Thus, he has been a new ball expert for Lanka, and he is also the highest wicket of Sri Lanka in this Asia Cup 2025.
Chanera is also an experienced player and was well played in the previous game against Bangladesh. However, since this stability is against Pakistan and their weakness against spin was exposed when they stood against Indian spinners, Lankan can also consider adding another spinner to the side.
Vanindu Hasranga and Dunith Vellege are one of the frontline spinners, while Kamindu Mendis can add further to it. However, if Mahesh Thekshana is added to XI, Sri Lanka will have another spinner who can take the new ball.
Sri Lanka vs Pakistan is almost one-or-dai game
Keeping Sri Lanka out of the game, Pakistan will cite the game as the most important stability in the Super -4 stage. They have to win the game to keep their opportunities alive in the Asia Cup 2025.
Pakistan will have their eyes set in the Asia Cup 2025 finals, given that India should have the other side to qualify for the final. To take advantage of this, they have to get the challenge chosen by the island nation and later by the tigers of Bengal.
However, if Pakistan loses today’s game, they will have to end their Asia Cup 2025 campaign, which is very less likely to qualify.
