On a belter of a batting surface, Sri Lanka won the flip of the coin and opted to bat first. Riding on the back of two solid centuries, Sri Lanka posted 344 runs total in the loss of nine wickets in 50 overs. Kusal Mendis scored 122 runs during his stay in the middle, which included a 65-ball century which is the quickest by the Sri Lankan batter in the World Cup history. Sadeera Samarawickrama played 108 runs knock in 89 deliveries to post big. Meanwhile, opener Prathum Nissanka contributed with a fine half-century.
With two centuries and a half-century knocks, the Sri Lankans looked in total control, however, Pakistan had different intentions on the day. Although Pakistan couldn’t get off to a solid start, losing two of their key batters in the first powerplay, they certainly managed to keep the game in their control with the knock of Mohammad Rizwan and opener Abdullah Shafique.
Veteran wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan remained unbeaten at 131 runs while Abdullah Shafique played a fantastic innings of 113 runs and took Pakistan over the winning rope in match 8 of the ICC World Cup 2023.
