The Pakistan vs Sri Lanka preview shows why this encounter is a must-win for both teams.

Pakistan, coming off defeat against India, will be keen to bounce back after back-to-back losses in the Asia Cup, including a six-wicket defeat in their Super Four opener.

Sri Lanka, meanwhile, are looking to recover after their four-wicket loss to Bangladesh ended a four-match winning streak and exposed weaknesses in their middle order.

For the PAK vs SL match prediction, key factors include batting depth, strike bowlers’ form, and how well teams handle Abu Dhabi’s pitch conditions. While statistics slightly favour Pakistan, Sri Lanka’s recent streak and experience in pressure situations make this a game that could go either way.
