Who will win today match between Sri Lanka vs Pakistan?

Sri Lanka are gritty and putting up sturdy performances regularly despite struggling with multiple injuries. Their spinners are their strength but their pacers need to do better and their batters will have to score runs. On the other hand, Pakistan’s fast bowling has been dented in the absence of Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah. However, they are likely to come hard at Sri Lanka after a major setback against India. As per our prediction, Pakistan are likely to win this fixture.
