Pakistan VS Srilanka
One from these two will qualify for the final match against India. The match will be played in Premadasa Stadium. Spinners again will play a crucial roles in today's match. The team that will win the toss today would be batting first. As early in the day this pitch does help the batters and later on it becomes spin friendly.
It's a really crucial match for both team because victories team will be quiality for next stage and loser will be eliminated, it's really high pressure match for Pakistan because they already has insufficient quality player due to injury which will really impact thier results, but we can hope that paksitan has always dominance over them and recently they won series too on thier home ground with most of thier player were same so we can expect that they will delivered same as our expectations. Let see how Pakistani new player can make difference at such a high pressure game.
The Asia Cup Super Four 11 match is going to be played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.Pakistan had lost to india  in the previous match and Sri Lanka had also lost to India. India has reached the final by defeating both these teams.  Both these teams are losing to India and now they are facing each other. So this match is going to be very interesting.A total of 155 matches have been played between Sri Lanka and Pakistan, of which 92 matches have been won by Pakistan and 508 matches have been won by Sri Lanka.Taking this record into account and prediction this match, Pakistan is a very strong team as compared to sri Lanka.

Another rain delay! This match is very crucial for Pakistan than Srilanka. If the match gets abandoned due to the rain, Srilanka will then quality for the final. The reason being they have currently a better NRR than Pakistan. I hope the delay is not that long and both team are able to play the complete 50 overs. Pakistan are favourite to win in this game, they have always outperrformed the odds. They might not have the complete bowling attack, they still have very good batters. Out of the Srilankan bowling attack only Wellalage and desilva can create issues for the Pakistani batters. If they can handle these two guys it will be easy for them to win today.

India has already qualified for the Asia Cup final. Today Pakistan and Srilanka will play against each other to qualify for the final against India. The outcome of this game depends a lot in the hands of spinners. The betting odds favour Pakistan due to their ability to bat better than the Srilankan side. There will be a good amount of pressure on Dunith Wellalage to perform better in this game. He was at his best when Srilanka were playing against India. The weather at Premadasa Stadium is showing cloudy but it still can rain. The match starts in just few minutes and we will be enjoying this game for sure.
In today's match due to rain any untoward incident may happen especially the toss is getting delayed due to rain. The entire stadium is covered and has not been tossed so far. However, today's game may reduce the over due to DLS method due to rain. However, those who will bat first must bat aggressively, otherwise if the run rate is cut in the DLS system, it can definitely have a negative impact on qualifying.

Looking at the spin-assisted wicket, today Pakistan announced an additional spinner in the squad where Mohammad Nawaz got a place in the squad. Along with Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz, Iftikhar Ahmed will certainly help Pakistan's spinners. It is very difficult to bat on the wicket that has been made so we will see low scoring matches today as well.

Every cricket player goes through a phase where nothing works in their favour. Shadab Khan is struggling but he is one of the best spin bowler that Pakistan has for now. Do remember he was the guy how was getting hit by Rohit Sharma on the first day of India VS Pakistan match. He came back hard and got his wicket.

Good decision by Pakistan management by adding Mohammad Nawaz to their squad. He has a good amount of experience in ODI and can be a game changer. Iftikhar Ahmed is good batter but not a good spinner. He can be considered as a partime bowler, last match he was struggling against the Indian batting attack.

If not then it would be another blow to the Pakistani bowling attack. Hoping to see another thrilling match today.
Today is a very important match in the Asia Cup where the equation is to win. The winning team will play India in the final. Like we saw in Spain against Sri Lanka, we might see spin-aided wickets against Pakistan. Pakistan are dependent on their fast bowlers but they definitely need quality spinners to win against Sri Lanka. Shadab Khan is a good quality spinner but he is not doing well in this Asia Cup.

I can understand what you are saying about Wellalage, but Shadab Khan? He is the primary reason why Pakistan lost to India. Pakistani spinners were completely out of sorts and the Indian batsmen treated them like club bowlers.
I think you are underestimating a quality all rounder like shadab no doubt he has bad performance against India but you can't ignore his previous best performance for behalf of single match performance, most of the time he took important wickets for Pakistan and show his class and I am sure that he will comback stronger and will shut mouth of all haters, it's true every player has bad time but it has limit and soon it will over and he will again shine like a star

Sri Lanka Vs Pakistan
The last match of Super Four, Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, is going to be the most interesting game in this match. Today's match is going to be exciting for Sri Lanka but very sad for Pakistan as they might have to exit the Asia Cup today. Today's match though Pakistan is most likely to win but still Pakistan will not go to the final, to go to the final they must beat Sri Lanka by a huge margin which is never possible. If Pakistan somehow wins today's match, they will be knocked out of Asia Cup and Sri Lanka will go to the final, and Pakistan will have to beat Sri Lanka by a huge margin to make it to the final. Today will be a great fight between the two teams. If Pakistan can bat well in today's match, then it is possible to beat Sri Lanka, but there will probably not be many in the final. In the match Pakistan's NNR is -1.892 and on the other hand Sri Lanka's -0.200 so if Pakistan win against Sri Lanka today then they will have to beat Sri Lanka by a huge margin to make it to the final, but I don't think it will be possible.

I see no need to focus on Nrr in the match today. Because both Sri Lanka and Pakistan teams played 2 matches of Super Four and won 1 each. Both teams have 2 points, the team that wins today will have a total of 4 points. The team that wins the match today will directly play in the final. If Pakistan's Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf are missing in today's match then it will be difficult for Pakistan to win the match. Today's match is a do or die match for both teams. The game will be really interesting and competitive game today.

Pakistani spinners were completely out of sorts and the Indian batsmen treated them like club bowlers. I don't understand why it is so hard for Pakistan to find quality spinners from their domestic setup. This is the same country that once produced legendary spinners like Saqlain Mushtaq, Mushtaq Ahmed and Danish Kaneria. Even Shoaib Malik and Yasir Shah were good, but now they have ordinary spinners like Shadab Khan.

We are $ucked if Bumrah faces another injury lol. His presence in the team gives a big boost to bowling.

Yeah, the combination looks okay for now because they ticked all the boxes in the last 2 matches, it can also change overnight (I hope not). We still have 5 (3 with Aus) matches before the WC so let's see and hope for the best. 

I have a different opinion on this. I would rather say that a potential injury to Bumrah will not be much damaging for India's prospects. Bumrah can be replaced with Shami. He may not be as quick as Bumrah, but he is also a wicket taker. And if multiple bowlers get injured, then there is a good backup strength in the form of Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan. Right now, India should not be bothered about some of their players getting injured and becoming unavailable to play. The team balance is looking really good at this point.

Chahal is not in the WC squad anyway. All this monkey balancing (in a good way) is going on because of batting depth and also 3 front-line seamers don't make sense in the Indian conditions. 

Bumrah+Siraj(Shami based on form)+ 2 seam allrounder Hardik +Thakur + 1 spin all rounder Jadeja + Kuldeep combination when pitch is fast, like Wankede or Dharamshala.

Leave Thakur out and add spin allrounder Axar into the playing XI when a pitch is spin friendly (Axar+Jadeja+Kuldeep+Hardik+ 2 seamers). We will witness the same pattern in WC.

This combination sounds good. But then, Bumrah needs to be fit. In case Bumrah gets injured, then the equilibrium will get disrupted. I guess in that case the seam combination would be Siraj+Shami+Hardik+Thakur. Anywaym the team balance looks good, with the presence of so many allrounders. Seam-bowling allrounders were always a rarity in Indian cricket, but now there are two of them - Hardik and Shardul. And then Venkatesh Iyer is waiting in the sidelines. For spin-bowling allrounders there was never any scarcity.
We are $ucked if Bumrah faces another injury lol. His presence in the team gives a big boost to bowling.

Yeah, the combination looks okay for now because they ticked all the boxes in the last 2 matches, it can also change overnight (I hope not). We still have 5 (3 with Aus) matches before the WC so let's see and hope for the best.

Pakistan were favorites early on, and they performed well in the first few matches. But now, it looks as if they have run out of steam. Their pace attack was feared by everyone, but with injuries to Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, it is not as threatening as it was before. But that doesn't mean that Sri Lanka are the overwhelming favorites. As we saw yesterday, they wasted a very good chance to defeat India. The target was very small (214), but the Indian spinners (especially Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja) made life really difficult for the Lankan batsmen.
Absolutely Right at Start of Asia Cup and first win against Nepal Pakistan is favourite to win this Asia cup but after A big defeat against India by 228 runs India is favourite to win this Asia Cup. No doubt Pakistan has best pace attack in the world but after two main fast bowlers injured  Naseem Shah ruled out of Asia Cup 2023 and Haris Rouf ruled out match against Sirlinka. I think Zaman Khan will replaces Naseem Shah in playing 11 against Sirlinka. The tomorrow match between Sirlanka and Pakistan is Semi final winner team will qualify for Final and face India in Final of Asia Cup.

I imagine this is a particularly good time for India as their batting and bowling can be said to be incredibly dangerous. The match against Sri Lanka was a puzzle for everyone and i took a personal gamble with my friends in this match where i won. You see India batting side is very good but they also have the best spin bowlers. I know that everyone is so sure in this Asia Cup that any team of India and Pakistan can win this Asia Cup but only the final match is waiting. Also personally i bet india that they can win asia cup.

India was able to defend a total of 214, which means they are the favorite to win the cup, never expected to defend a total like that but then it is not the spinners that changed the match, fast bowling by Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj in the opening spell and then later on Hardik Pandya bowled a wonderful spell when Sri Lanka was building a partnership. The only disappointment was Axar Patel, if it was Ashwin in his place, he would have made a difference.

It is not certain but it is confirmed that Srilanka might reach the finals. Considering what Pakistan has been doing in this cup makes me believe in my own prediction. They are struggling as a bowling side, they were once known for their bowling attack. They have no clue as to why their number 1 batting side got destroyed. The Captain of Pakistan has issues in taking decision as the management is controlling him. By management, it is the PCB which now being controlled by someone who has never palyed international cricket or even cricket.

You might say the same about India. Regardless, India is dominating the one day tournament. Do remember wickets in India would be somewhat similar to what we have seen in Srilanka. India were underdogs, after the these two games they have now become hot favourite to win the World Cup. 2011 was the time when India won the world cup again. This was the second time and the next might happen this year.

Perhaps travelling back and forth between Pakistan and Sri Lanka impacted the performance of the Pakistani players. Before the start of the Asia Cup, they were being favored to win the trophy, because they had a very strong batting lineup (Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman) and perhaps the best pace attack for any of the participants in this edition of the Asia Cup (Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf). But now they look to be in very poor shape. Batsmen are out of form, and the bowlers are either injured or leaking runs.

India secured the final match of Asia Cup 2023 after winning the last match against Sri Lanka. But we can say that in the match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, it is certain that Sri Lanka will go to the final. Because Sri Lanka has the highest chances whereas Pakistan has not so much, Pakistan must lose by a huge margin against Sri Lanka to reach the final, which is never possible. Had Pakistan won their match against India, they would have been guaranteed a place in the finals, but unfortunately two players were missing and Pakistan were in a bad situation. However, even if Pakistan wins the match against Sri Lanka, they may not qualify for the finals as they have no chance if they beat Sri Lanka by a huge margin. And we can predict that the final match will be held between India and Sri Lanka in this Asia Cup, I think.

India has confirmed their position in the final, while Bangladesh is now out of the tournament.

The team that wins the Sri Lanka vs Pakistan match will join India in the final. If Pakistan defeats Sri Lanka in their upcoming game, we'll see the first-ever India vs Pakistan final in Asia Cup history. It promises to be an exciting and high-intensity match that many fans are looking forward to watching.
Yes, India now reached in Final match of the Asia Cup 2023 after defeating the Sri Lanka Team. Sri Lanka can easily win this match The bowling performance is brilliant but the batting can disappoint Sri Lankan Fans. In tomorrow's match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The Sri Lanka Team high chance of winning this match because the two best bowlers of Pakistan already had been injured Shaheen Shah and Haris. Both were absent between the Pakistan and India match. Due to the absence of these two players Pakistan will suffer significant losses. Hopefully, other players can compensate for their absence and Pakistan can have a tough competition with Sri Lanka and secure a victory.
This is a big blow for Pakistan as Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf are Pakistan's most reliable bowlers so it is already predictable that Pakistan will not do well in their absence. Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi have been the highest wicket takers for Pakistan in this Asia Cup and if Pakistan miss them against Sri Lanka it will be very difficult to do well against Sri Lanka. We have clearly noticed Pakistan's bowling weakness and batting weakness against India. A win against Sri Lanka is a must-win battle and the batting and bowling weakness shown by Pakistan against India must be overcome by good batting and bowling if Pakistan can play India's opponents in the Asia Cup final.
