Both Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be hoping to keep the momentum from winning their last matches when they face off in a winner-takes-all group match. Pakistan were well beaten by India in the first match but bounced back to humble South Africa in their second match to leave them on the brink of a semi-final berth. Sri Lanka meanwhile were underwhelming against South Africa in their opener but chased over 300 to stun defending champions India in their second match.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka prediction

Neither side expected to be in this position after their respective opening losses but they have both bounced back admirably to win their next matches to leave this mouth-watering encounter. While Sri Lanka have got probably the most balanced team, you can never write off Pakistan who always seem to have a knack for doing just enough to qualify and then coming to life in the knockout stages.
