Welcome to the coverage of the ICC T20 World Cup match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Pallekele, on Saturday.

Pakistan will need a commanding win over already-eliminated Sri Lanka to advance to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup.

England's superb come-from-behind four-wicket victory against New Zealand handed Pakistan a much-needed lifeline.

Pakistan face a tough equation as far as their hopes of progress is concerned.

They will have to win by a margin of 64 runs or more if they post a total of around 160 if batting first.

If they are bowling first, Pakistan will need to chase down a target of 160-plus in 13.1 overs or less.

Pakistan, placed third in the table, are locked in a battle with New Zealand for the second and final berth, but the Kiwis are in a far stronger position than Agha's side on the net run rate.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will be hoping to finish off on a high in front of their home fans after their disappointing losses against New Zealand and England in the Super 8s.
