Pakistan, who made 348 against England will hope that its batsmen carry on the good work and put Sri Lanka under pressure. Their batting will be ably supported by the likes of Wahab Riaz and Mohammad Amir who have proven their abilities with the ball from time to time.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have not had a good run coming into the tournament and barely managed to pull off a win against qualifiers Afghanistan in their previous game. They have not clicked together as a team in the recent past and might struggle to pose a threat against quality oppositions going ahead in this tournament.
