Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Match 11 of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 between Sri Lanka and Pakistan at County Ground. Bristol on Friday. After losing to West Indies in their first game Pakistan bounced back in style, hammering England and are buoyant, heading in to the third game of the tournament.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, had to scrape past Afghanistan after losing their first match to New Zealand. Today’s fixture will be hampered by rain as there is 90 per cent chance of showers in the afternoon, when the match is scheduled to begin.

SL vs PAK PREVIEW

For two teams coming off rejuvenating victories, match 11 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 could end up a dampener.

The forecast for Bristol on Friday (June 7) is for heavy rain all through the day. At 10:30am local time, when this match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka is due to begin, the chance of rain is predicted for 80%. It is not a situation either team will fancy, for a washed out game could end up hurting them in the back end of the tournament.

Locals reckon the rain won’t let up, so we could all be in for a frustrating day.

Sri Lanka have never beaten Pakistan in a World Cup match, but Dimuth Karunaratne is confident that his team can become the first to do so. After losing to New Zealand by ten wickets, Sri Lanka overcame a scare against Afghanistan to find some momentum, which Karunaratne said instilled a greater sense of belief in the squad.

Up against the most unpredictable team in the sport, Sri Lanka are ready for a fightback. In this World Cup, Pakistan were bowled out for 105 by West Indies and then made 348 to beat England. What Pakistan team turns up in their third match remains to be seen.

Twenty years separated Pakistan’s only two ODI matches in Bristol. During the 1999 World Cup, they beat West Indies here. Last month, they lost here to England by six wickets despite scoring 358.
