MATCH PREFERENCE

In the rehearsal of the 2022 Asian Cup final, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, two teams with a 100% winning record in the Super 4 round, will face each other in Dubai on Friday.

Pakistan just had a thrilling victory over Afghanistan in Sharjah, while Sri Lanka is on the cusp of a wave of confidence after beating defending champions India in the final match.

Focus Match

Sri Lanka is likely to remain unchanged, meaning three left-handed players in the top six. Pakistan spinner, leggie Shadab Khan and left-hander Mohammad Nawaz, usually play most of their spell between 7 and 16 and reduce the scoring rate. Their confrontation with the southern Lankan players could decide how the dynamics change in midfield breakouts. Out of all T20s, Shadab has picked up 181 mid-tier retail outlets with an economy ratio of 7.06. Nawaz has 85 at 7.27 in the same phase.

Meanwhile, the Pakistani speed trio of Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf and Mohammad Hasnain will be removed from the PowerPlay mission. Sri Lanka has the second best PowerPlay run rate (8.45) – behind Afghanistan (8.70) – in this tournament, with openers Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka looking to grab an early advantage with their brilliant raid gameplay. Early games inside the first six teams could put pressure on the Lankan middle order.

Sales pitch and conditions

Expect another high score match. Although wickets are getting a little slower, there is still a lot of work to be done. Dew or now dew, teams like to chase to win in Dubai. In particular, Sri Lanka loves to chase. So it will be interesting to see how it reacts if Pakistan wins the throw and insert them.
