There is no official semi-final in the Asia Cup schedule. However, here is effectively a semi-final. Sri Lanka and Pakistan do battle for a shot at meeting India in Sunday’s final.

Pakistan, highly rated heading into this Asia Cup, had the horror to end all horror shows against India. Their 228-run defeat to India was not only a blow to the morale of the team, but some injury worries have emerged to the pace bowlers. Babar Azam’s team now have to pick themselves up quickly for this do-or-die clash in Colombo.

Sri Lanka came into the tournament with their own injury concerns. But, they have fought hard, winning three of their four matches to date and giving India a tough run last time out. The performance of the talented Dunith Wellalage is cause for huge optimism, and the Lions have an opportunity to reach the final where they would have a shot at a second-straight title.
