Pakistan scripted history at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad as they recorded the highest successful run chase in the history of the ODI World Cup. After losing the toss, Pakistan's bowling was found wanting as Kusal Mendis and Sadeera hit centuries with ease.
Pakistan scored 252 runs in their 42 overs owing to wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan's unbeaten 86 off 73 balls. However, the target was adjusted for Sri Lanka in the crunch game of Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours.
Pakistan wasted both their reviews in less than 30 overs in the ongoing crunch Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours encounter against India. On both occasions, Mohammad Rizwan's over-excitement pushed skipper Babar Azam to go for the review.
Pakistan lost both the openers early but Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan added 86 runs for the third wicket to put the hosts on track for the big total against Nepal.
Ravichandran Ashwin believes that Pakistan can be the team to beat in the upcoming Asia Cup slated to start from August 30.
Irrespective of the venue where a multi-team event is being held, the tradition of the original host's name being written under the tournament name is always followed, whether of India in the 2021 T20 World Cup or Sri Lanka in last year's Asia Cup, but it seems things are different this time around.
The Pakistan cricket team would look to claim its third Asia Cup title in history as it begins its campaign on August 30.
