Pakistan take-on Sri Lanka in Hyderabad, with the Shaheens one-from-one, whilst Sri Lanka are looking to bounce back from an opening round mauling at the hands of South Africa.

Pakistan’s win against the Netherlands was far from convincing, but the job got done in the end. Half-centuries from Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan bailed them out of early trouble with the bat, before their spin trio led by Shadab Khan - as well as raw pace in the shape of Haris Rauf - ultimately proved too much for the Dutch.

Their competition will continue to ramp up when they take-on Sri Lanka, whose tournament got off to the worst possible start as they conceded the largest World Cup total in history against South Africa when the Proteas piled on 428.

Sri Lanka did manage to limit the damage by putting on 326 themselves in reply. But there’s only so many silver linings you can take from a 102-run-loss. Another defeat against Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be facing the prospect of being out of the running for the semi-finals just a week into the tournament.

Pakistan v Sri Lanka key player to watch

Saud Shakeel (Pakistan)

An understated batter who has forced his way into Pakistan’s Test and ODI set-up over the last 12 months, Shakeel may only have seven ODIs to his name but he’s quickly become the heartbeat of the Pakistan batting line-up.

A half-century in the warm-up against New Zealand was backed up by another against the Netherlands in the opening round - and all of a sudden - it’s hard to imagine a Pakistan batting line-up without the diminutive left-hander.
