Sri Lanka batsmen will have to struggle and work hard in today's match.If New Zealand wins this match, Pakistan will have to play with the run rate to win the match.And it will be very difficult for Pakistan.
Not only for Pakistan. This match is important for Bangladesh as well. While Pakistan will support Sri Lanka today because they want to qualify for the semi-final, Bangladesh looking at the match result because If New Zealand wins the match against Sri Lanka, the equation for Bangladesh to play the Champions Trophy will be easier.
