Both teams have four wins and one loss in the campaign so far. Pakistan delivered an absolutely convincing performance to defeat Bangladesh in the playoff semifinals. Haseebullah Khan scored 79 runs off 107 balls which was enough to guide his side past the finishing line. The likes of Mehran Mumtaz and Awais Ali chipped in with three wickets each against the defending champions.
Pakistan are the marginal favorites as per dream11 prediction. Sri Lanka have relied a bit too much on their bowling department this tournament, as their batting order has often misfired. Chasing down a total of 135 runs against Afghanistan, the Lankans were bowled out for just 130 runs. On the other hand, Pakistan have a well-rounded team with depth in both departments.
Betway – PK-U19: 1.87, SL-U19: 1.90

Today Match Score: Sri Lanka have a weak batting order, and if they bat first, we could see a low scoring encounter. On the other hand, if Pakistan bat first, we could see them posting a total of around 230-250 runs. Sri Lanka will bank on their dynamic bowling department to do the job for them.
Today Pitch Report: The last game at North Sound was a low scoring battle between England and Afghanistan. With the pitches being used more often, there is more purchase for the spinners. Hence, Sri Lanka could hold the key with their spin attack.
