Pakistan survived a scare in the group stage to reach the Super 8’s and they now take on an unbeaten Sri Lanka side at Lords on Friday.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Live Scorecard

The tournament is well and truly under way now and Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be looking to get off to flyer in their first game in the Super 8 stage.

Having lost heavily to England, Pakistan overcame the Dutch and a poor net run rate to avoid an embarrassing early elimination from the tournament. Sri Lanka came through the “group of death” from which Australia were eliminated and have made an impressive start to their campaign with victory over both the Aussies and the West Indies.

Let’s take a look at the key men on both sides.

Pakistan captain Younis Khan is their leading run scorer with 82 from 2 innings though we have only seen glimpses of the real fireworks potentially provided by Shahid Afridi and Kamram Akmal. With the ball, the spin of Ajmal and Afridi with 9 wickets between them have been more successful than the seamers.

Sri Lanka’s strength has been their top order, Dilshan leads the way with 127 runs in 2 games at a strike rate of 160. Jayasuria returned to form when he smashed 81 against the West Indies and Sangakarra made 55 against the Aussies. Spinner Mendis and “Slinga” Malinga have 5 wickets a piece, surprisingly Murali has just the one to his name though he has been economical. 

On the team news front, Sohail Tanvir was struggling with an injury in the game against the Dutch and could be doubtful.
