Sri Lanka vs Pakistan: Co-hosts Sri Lanka and Pakistan squared off in the Super Four stage match, or virtual semifinal, of the Asia Cup 2023 on Thursday at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Rain hampered the conflict, as it has done on numerous occasions.
Due to the contest being drastically cut short for both teams, Pakistan scored 252 runs in its first 42 overs of batting. Additionally, Sri Lanka was given a goal of 252 runs to reach in the second innings under the DLS technique.
Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, and Charith Asalanka all put in outstanding performances as Sri Lanka scored 252 runs and won the match by two wickets to secure their spot in the championship game. Furthermore, the match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan was the first international game ever to be won (without a tiebreaker) by a team after both teams scored the same number of runs in the same number of overs thanks to the DLS technique.
