Match Preview

To surpass New Zealand’s superior Net Run Rate (+1.390 compared to Pakistan's -0.461) and snatch a semi-final berth, Pakistan must either win by a margin of approximately 65 runs if they bat first, or chase down their target within 13 overs if batting second. This daunting equation means Pakistan will have to adopt an ultra-aggressive, high-risk approach from the very first ball.
While playing in front of a passionate home crowd in Pallekele, Sri Lanka have nothing to lose. Unburdened by the pressure of qualification, the co-hosts have the opportunity to play freely and potentially spoil Pakistan's chances, aiming to end their own campaign on a positive note.
