Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, ODI World Cup 2023, Live Updates:Pakistan will be squaring off against Sri Lanka in their ODI World Cup 2023 match on Tuesday in Hyderabad. Pakistan won their opening game against Netherlands by 81 runs.
Navigating their way through some extreme pressure moments in their tournament opener, India will be eyeing a near perfect game against a sprightly Afghanistan in the ODI World Cup in New Delhi on Wednesday. As pointed out by skipper Rohit Sharma, India's biggest challenge over the course of the league stage will be to quickly adapt to the conditions in nine different venues. After a slow and spinning track at Chepauk, a belter of a surface is expected at the Feroz Shah Kotla, where more than 700 runs were plundered in a high-scoring affair between South Africa and Sri Lanka last week.
Pakistan drop Zaman, bat against Sri Lanka in World Cup
Pakistan head coach Grant Bradburn has expressed confidence in their underperforming top-order ahead of their clash against Sri Lanka on Wednesday. For the past few games, Pakistan's top order has been going through a dry patch and Fakhar Zaman has been the most prominent out of the two. The left-handed batter had a below-par Asia Cup as he scored 66 runs in four matches. His barren patch continued in the warm-up games as well as he scored 22 runs against Australia.
Pakistan head coach Grant Bradburn insists his team's top-order batting is not a worry but that confidence may not spare Fakhar Zaman, the only man to have scored an ODI double hundred for his country.
Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Zaka Ashraf on Monday met Foreign Secretary Syrus Sajjad Qazi to discuss the delay in visa issuance to Pakistani fans and journalists for the ongoing Cricket World Cup in India.

HYDERABAD, India : Spinner Maheesh Theekshana is set to play Tuesday's World Cup match against Pakistan after recovering from a hamstring strain, assistance coach Naveed Nawaz said on Monday.
The win against the Netherlands wasn't the most convincing but an inconsistent and mercurial Pakistan will still fancy their chances against a bruised and battered Sri Lanka in the World Cup match in Hyderabad on Tuesday. If their batting against the Associate nation was any indication, then Pakistan will need to do a lot more in the coming weeks, starting with the clash against Sri Lanka, whose spinners have the ability to cause damage in the opposition ranks.
