Pakistan's coach, Mickey Arthur, brings extensive knowledge of Sri Lanka's cricket team, having led them from December 2019 to November 2021.
As Pakistan faces Sri Lanka in the World Cup, Arthur acknowledges his deep understanding of the opposition's strengths and weaknesses.
He emphasized the need for strategic plans to overcome a formidable Sri Lankan side.
Pakistan's World Cup campaign started with a tense 81-run win over the Netherlands.
Despite early struggles, they posted 286 runs, with Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan shining.
Sri Lanka, the 1996 World Cup champions, faced a challenging opener against South Africa, losing by 102 runs but showing resilience with the bat.
Arthur expressed confidence in his team's abilities and plans.
For the upcoming match, Pakistan is likely to maintain the same lineup, giving out-of-form opener Fakhar Zaman another chance.
As Pakistan and Sri Lanka clash, fans anticipate an intriguing contest between two determined teams.
