In their famous rivalry, covering 156 One Day International (ODI) matches, Pakistan boast an impressive track record with 92 wins. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, has earned 59 victories. But, it’s the World Cup stats that raise eyebrows: out of their eight encounters in the tournament’s past, Sri Lanka haven’t managed to outpace Pakistan even once.

Given the weight of history, Sri Lanka’s recent loss against South Africa – despite a commendable chase of 326 runs – might be playing on their thoughts. South Africa’s mammoth score of 428 surely set the bar high early in the event. Conversely, Pakistan began their campaign with a convincing 81-run win over the Netherlands, positioning themselves as formidable contenders.
As for today’s duel in Hyderabad, fast bowlers are expected to relish the initial overs. Seamers and swingers might be the showstoppers initially, but as the day progresses, spin wizards will likely control the match’s tempo. The expansive outfield of Hyderabad’s stadium promises to challenge the players. Batsmen, especially during the second innings, will have ample opportunity to take control, pushing for swift runs and converting ones into twos.
However, nature might just throw a slight curveball. The skies over Hyderabad are painted with clouds, suggesting a possible, albeit minor, hiccup in play. But, as per AccuWeather’s forecast, rain’s chance stands at a mere 2%.
