Pakistan vs Sri Lanka prediction

Pakistan lost out in the first Super Four fixture, further enhancing the importance of this match from their perspective. For the Sri Lanka, the same jeopardy applies after having been beaten by Bangladesh by four wickets last time out, this after having won all their games played over the course of the group stage. Both teams may be low on confidence after their most recent matches, but Pakistan will be fired up after the India contest, which proved to have a real edge to it. 

Across major tournament history, Pakistan normally plays their best cricket when their backs are against the wall, which is certainly the case here. Sri Lanka are a solid outfit but perhaps lack that bowling X-Factor compared to their opponents and this makes backing Pakistan worthy of serious consideration.
