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.

South Africa rewrote the record books on Saturday as they posted the highest ever World Cup total of 428 while Aiden Markram clubbed the fastest tournament century in just 49 balls in a 102-run victory over Sri Lanka.

Markram, who went on to make 106, beat the previous record for fastest World Cup century which was claimed by Ireland's Kevin O'Brien off 50 balls against England at Bengaluru in 2011.
