Pakistan Vs Sri Lanka in Super 8 of T20 World Cup Today

Team Sri Lanka is surely the favourite against Pakistan, which is overcoming early hiccups at the start of the ICC World T20 tournament at Lord’s here on Friday.

Runners-up in 2007, Pakistan anyhow managed to book a berth for themselves in the Super Eight by beating Netherlands. This match holds importance for Team Pakistan especially after Younis Khan’s absurd comment about T20 being merely ‘fun cricket’.

Pakistan has an opportunity to prove his comments weren’t serious as the side takes on Sri Lanka in the Group F Super Eight encounter.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have made art in comprehensively defeating Australia and West Indies in the group of death.

Sanath Jayasuriya will hold the key to the fortunes of the Lankans, as he so often does in any game. But Kumar Sangakkara’s boys aren’t just dependent on the soon to be 40-year-old.

Tillakaratne Dilshan has been as consistent as Pakistan’s inconsistency. Sangakkara himself has developed into a class T20 player, while Mahela Jayawardene is one of the best finishers in this format.
