The brand of cricket that they have played is something many teams have tried. They have been extremely successful and it?ll be no surprise if we see both of them in the final.

Their performance in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 was staggering. While Pakistan made it into the Super Four stage, Sri Lanka reached the final. The two will be an extremely threat for other teams on the slow India pitches.
