Earlier, Sahibzada Farhan’s record-breaking hundred off 59 balls and Fakhar Zaman’s 84-run knock powered Pakistan to a strong total of 212/8 in 20 overs versus Sri Lanka. Farhan surpassed Virat Kohli’s record for most runs in T20 World Cups. Babar Azam, Saim Ayub and Salman Mirza dropped from Pakistan’s playing XI for the Super 8 clash against Sri Lanka. TOSS — Sri Lanka captain, Dasun Shanaka, wins the toss as the hosts decide to bowl first against Pakistan.
For Salman Ali Agha’s Pakistan side, the equation is daunting but clear following England’s recent victory over the Kiwis. To leapfrog New Zealand on Net Run Rate and secure a spot in the final four, Pakistan must win this match by a significant margin. If they bat first, they generally need to secure a victory by at least 64 runs, whereas a successful chase would likely need to be completed within approximately 13 overs.
