After a devastating 228-run loss against India on Monday, Pakistan will play Sri Lanka in a must-win match for both teams. Pakistan's struggle with bat was not enough as their two premium pacers got injured, Naseem Shah got replaced by Zaman Khan and Haris Rauf is still training with the team.

Kuldeep Yadav registered his second One Day International (ODI) 5-wicket haul against Pakistan and took India to victory after a heroic batting effort.

Sri Lanka's 13-match winning streak has come to an end. 20-year-old Dunith Wellalage had a memorable outing against India. After removing five of the top six batters, he top-scored with an unbeaten 42, but that wasn't enough for the Islanders as they suffered a 41-run loss.

The match seems to be do-or-die for both teams as whoever wins will head for the finals against India on September 17.

However, if the match gets washed out, Sri Lanka will automatically qualify for the finals as they have a better Net Run Rate (NRR) than Pakistan.
