Match Preview
The second fixture of October 10 double-header in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 will have Pakistan taking on Sri Lanka at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. In their respective opening fixtures of this tournament, the Men in Green registered an 81-run win over their rivals, while Sri Lanka went down to South Africa by 102 runs in a game played on October 7, Saturday.
Toss Prediction
The origin of the ODI rivalry between both the teams originated back in 1975, and since then both the teams faced each other in 156 matches. If we have a look at their respective toss records in the ongoing tournament, Dasun Shanaka was lucky enough to win the toss over his rival captain. Pakistan skipper, on the other hand, couldn't win the toss in his last fixture of the tournament. With this in consideration, we think Azam will come on top of the toss battle over Shanaka.
Win Possibility
The last ODI clash that Pakistan and Sri Lanka locked horns in was at the 2023 Asia Cup, where Shanaka and Co. got better of their Pakistani counterparts. However, as we have talked about it, both the teams have faced each other at 156 occasions in the same format, where Pakistan managed to gain victory on 92 occasions, while the Lankans clinched victory in 59 matches.
This data speaks for the fact that Pakistan are comparatively better than their Lankan counterparts, and based on this, we think that Babar Azam and Co will win the game to extend their win streak to 2-0 in ongoing season of the ICC event.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
After two high-octane encounters, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium of Hyderabad is set to host its third and last match in the 13th edition of the ODI World Cup. Overall, the venue has witnessed a total of eight 50-over matches, with an average first inning score of 288. Hence, we can expect the first inning score of the forthcoming fixture to be somewhere between 280-320. Speaking of the powerplay score, it is expected to lie between 45-55 in the upcoming encounter.
