Sri Lanka (SL) will be up against Pakistan (PAK) in the 5th match of the Super Four round of the Asia Cup 2023 at the R Premdasa Stadium in Colombo on September 14. Sri Lanka have played two matches in the Super Four stage, where they have won one and are in second place. Pakistan, on the other hand, have won and lost a game at this stage and are third in the rankings. 

Sri Lanka had played against India in their last match, where India won the toss and elected to bat. Rohit gave a strong start in yet another match for India, scoring his third consistent fifty. They lost three wickets on a trot after a fantastic start, but a solid fourth-wicket partnership brought them back and helped India post a good total of 213 runs. Sri Lanka did not start well and kept losing wickets right from the start. A great partnership for the seventh wicket did scare India, but India won the match eventually by 41 runs.
