Lahore (Sports Desk) — The Pakistan cricket team has suffered a blow ahead of a crucial Super 8 stage T20 World Cup match, as fast bowler Salman Mirza is doubtful for the game against Sri Lanka.
Sources report that Salman Mirza left the field during practice due to knee discomfort and did not return for further training. As a result, there is a possibility that Naseem Shah may replace him in the playing XI.
Naseem Shah has been practicing extensively in separate nets alongside Khawaja Nafees and Usman Tariq to ensure he is fully prepared for the match.
The match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka is scheduled to start at 6:30 PM local time. Pakistan must beat Sri Lanka by 65 runs or achieve the target in 13 overs to advance to the semi-finals, making this a highly critical match for the team.
