Pakistan and Sri Lanka are all set to lock horns in the second semi-final of the Asian Games 2023 Women’s Cricket. The Pingfeng Campus Cricket Field in Hangzhou will be hosting this clash on Sunday, September 24.
Pakistan, captained by Nida Dar, made their way through to the semi-final after their quarterfinal against Indonesia had to be abandoned without a ball being bowled.
Pakistan, however, will be looking to put their best foot forward and assure themselves of a medal by beating Sri Lanka. The likes of Dar, Muneeba Ali, Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig, and Nashra Sandhu are expected to play key roles.
Sri Lanka, captained by veteran Chamari Athapaththu, on the other hand, will be high on confidence. After doing well against England in the bilateral series, they beat Thailand by eight wickets in the Asian Games quarterfinal.
Having opted to field first, they restricted Thailand to 78 for seven in 15 overs. Thereafter, Sri Lanka chased down the target with 25 balls left in their innings.
