Asia Cup Super Four – Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, Colombo

Pakistan announced five changes yesterday. But they’ve had to tear that sheet apart, because they’ve had to make two changes to that changed XI. Forced change according to Babar Azam, who won the toss and chose to bat.Imam Ul Haq has picked up a back spasm today, and Fakhar Zaman – dropped yesterday – is his replacement. Saud Shakeel – who was supposed to replace Agha Salman in the team – has picked up an illness, and therefore Abdullah Shafique will come into the middle order.Sri Lanka with two changes. Pramod Madushan replaces Kasun Rajitha while Kusal Perera is back (!), in place of Dimuth Karunaratne. Kusal Perera last played an ODI in 2021 and is the kind of batter who could be a gamechanger in rain-hit, short games.
