Pakistan, at 2nd no in the ICC ODI rankings, is seen to have the edge, thanks to their strong batting lineup driven by the in-form Babar Azam, and one of the best bowling trios in the world, featuring Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka is no pushover, with their wily spinner, Wanindu Hasaranga, and rising stars Avishka Fernando and Charith Asalanka, in tow.
