PAK vs SL ICC Cricket World Cup match predicted playing XI: Babar Azam's Pakistan will square off against Dasun Shanaka's Sri Lanka in match no. 8 of ODI World Cup 2023 in Hyderabad.

Check below Predicted Playing XI for Pakistan vs Sri Lanka ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka ICC Cricket World Cup match Probable Playing 11: Match number 8 of ICC Cricket World Cup match will be played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Babar Azam-led Pakistan will be coming into today's match as a confident side as they defeated Netherlands in their first match in ODI World Cup 2023. On the other hand, Sri Lanka has not been able to open its winning account yet. The Lankan Lions faced a crushing defeat in its first ODI World Cup 2023 match against South Africa. In this match, South Africa posted the highest total (428) by a team in World Cup history. Sri Lankan batsmen, in reply, gave a tough fight but the total was too big to chase and they eventually fell short by a margin of 102 runs.

Though Pakistan won against Netherlands, the win wasn't satisfying at all for Babar Azam and Co. A weak team like Netherlands, playing their fifth ever ODI World Cup, performed way better against Pakistan than expected. 

Pakistan squared off against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 stage. In this match, Sri Lanka defeated Pakistan via DLS method, knocking them out of the tournament. Today is a chance for Babar Azam & Co. to settle the old score. 

Asian giants #Pakistan & #SriLanka are all set to collide on the world stage!

With a handsome record against 🇱🇰 in World Cups, 🇵🇰 will aim to make it 8️⃣-0️⃣!
