Pakistan wins toss, opts to bowl first against Sri Lanka in crucial Asia Cup clash
This match is crucial for both teams to keep their hopes alive for qualifying for the final
Abu Dhabi: In the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup T20 tournament, Pakistan won the toss and elected to field first against Sri Lanka.
The two teams are facing off today in Abu Dhabi, where Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha won the toss and chose to bowl, inviting Sri Lanka to bat first.
Pakistan has made no changes to its playing XI from the match against India — the same players are featuring in today’s game.
It’s worth noting that both teams lost their opening Super Four matches: Sri Lanka was defeated by Bangladesh, while Pakistan lost to India.
This match is crucial for both teams to keep their hopes alive for qualifying for the final. A loss here would significantly complicate the path forward, making qualification dependent on multiple scenarios and results.
