Pakistan has won the toss and has elected to bat first against Sri Lanka in the penultimate Super 4 contest of the Asia Cup 2023 at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

The match will start at 5.15 p.m. with a delay of more than two hours due to heavy rain. 

A fresh spell of rain has delayed the crucial Pakistan-Sri Lanka match in Asia Cup 2023 and now the two sides will lock horns in a 45-over contest.

Winning the toss, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam said they are opting to bat first to add runs and put pressure on Sri Lanka. 

While Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka said he would have gone with a ball had he won the toss.
