Sri Lanka 11 vs Pakistan- Asia Cup 2025, Super 4 Match 3 is playing
Opener: Patham Nisanka, Kusal Mendis (WK)
The Asia Cup champion in the T20I format, Sri Lanka, would like to make a strong comeback after losing a close match against Bangladesh.
Lanka’s lions will be against Pakistan, who are also coming in the match behind the defeat against India.
Although Sri Lanka lost the last match, Charith Asanka -led side would believe to be better than Pakistan as it looks like a more systematic entity than its opponents and all the bases have been covered.
Sri Lanka will start the innings with the in-form opening pair of Patham Nisanka and Kusal Mendis, both have scored at least one fifty in the tournament so far, and will watch it to build it in the upcoming match.
The pair, which is known for the aggressive style of playing in the first six overs, will be expected to continue against a Pakistani bowling lineup in the same way that is struggling for the form.
Middle-order batsman and all-rounders: Kamil Mishara, Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, Charith Asanka (C), Dasun Shank, Wanindu Hasarga, Danith Vellage
There will be a middle order after the inauguration pair, however posting a decent total against Bangladesh, if Kamil Mishara and Kusal Perera’s choice batted with a little more intention, scored 10–15 runs.
The middle-order batsmen want to improve the next game by taking the Pakistani bowlers in the middle stage of the innings.
Saying that, former team management captain Dasun Shakka and current Captain Cherith Asanka would be happy to bat in the last five overs, helping the team reach the rescue score.
Doubts, especially, were aggressive of both because they were very important for half a century. All -rounder’s goal will be to continue the form he has chosen and has given another concrete performance against Pakistan.
Bowler: Dushmanatha Chanera, Nuwan Thaushra
Lanka will once again do a bank to be good against a Pakistani batting lineup on its bowlers, which showed some type of form in the previous match against India.
Being the most experienced novel in the team, Vanindu will be on Hasranga to lead the Lankan bowling attack.
Hasranga, who was a bowlers’ pick for the team against Bangladesh, also wanted a lot of support from other bowlers.
As far as the Sri Lankan fast bowling department is concerned, this enemy will be taken care of by Chamera and Nuwan Thaushara.
Lanka will need to address concerns about the fifth bowling option before the match against Pakistan.
Dasun Shanaka tried his best to protect five runs in the last over, the all-rounder was not able to do so, and it seemed that Sri Lanka was always chasing the game, once taken for one of the four regular bowling options.
In the last two matches, it has been Dunith Vellege, who has completed the role of the fourth bowler for Sri Lanka, a step that has not yet paid dividends, not able to take wickets with him.
Due to the above reason, Lanka may think of bringing an additional fast bowler as Mahesh Thekshana, given that other spin bowling options, Mahesh Thekashana is also not in great form.
