Pitch
In the Asia Cup 2023, the initial pattern emerging from the matches is clear: teams batting first have emerged victorious in all three encounters. The fresh ball offers the fast bowlers some assistance, with noticeable swing and seam. However, as the ball ages, the spinners dominate. This was evident in the recent clash between India and Sri Lanka, where spinners took centre stage, accounting for 16 of the 20 wickets. Given the wear and tear on the pitch from constant play, spinners are expected to shine again in the upcoming PAK vs SL face-off. Anticipating this, both teams will be mulling over adding an extra spinner to their squads. It's imperative for batsmen to be circumspect initially, laying a foundation before upping the tempo. The captain winning the toss, likely influenced by the prevailing trend, may choose to bat first in this all-important clash that's akin to a semi-final. On this wicket, a score north of 250 might be a tough ask for the chasing team.
