Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, ICC World Cup 2019: Key players from the Men in Green to watch out for
Pakistan will play its third match in the tournament today against the Lankans at Bristol County ground.
The Men in Green after losing their first match in the warm-up game and their first official match in the tournament made a comeback by defeating the tournament's favourites. Pakistan defeated England in their previous match by 14 runs and emerged victorious. The team will have a different lookout after winning against the tournament's favourites and will be keen on maintaining their winning streak in the tournament. Let's have a look at the key players who will play a crucial role in Pakistan's victory.
1. Mohammad Hafeez- He played an important role in helping the team setting up a huge target of 348 runs. With an exceptional strike rate of 135.48, he scored 84 runs in 62 deliveries that included 8 fours and 2 sixes. Pakistan will rely heavily on this all-rounder who uplifts the team middle order batting line-up. However, as a bowler, he managed to pick up the crucial wicket of Captain Eoin Morgan and gave away 43 runs in his 7 overs spell.
2. Mohammad Amir- Mohammad Amir is the most effective bowler for the Pakistani side. Despite losing the match against West Indies in their first match of the tournament, it was Amir's exceptional spell that made a difference. In his 6 overs, Amir picked up 3 wickets with an economy of 4.33. In the team's second match when they defeated the hosts, Amir yet again with his brilliant bowling made an impact. With an economy of 6.70, Amir gave 67 runs in his 10 over spell and managed to pick up 2 crucial wickets for the team.
