We are moving to the last group stage game of the Asia Cup 2023. After Bangladesh defeated Afghanistan last night, qualifiers from Group B will be determined after the clash between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. Sri Lanka have won their first game and are pretty much likely to acquire one of the spots for the Super 4s.

On the other hand, the qualification of Afghanistan will depend on this particular encounter as they lost against Bangladesh, and they will have to win by a certain margin against Sri Lanka at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. Let's see how the pitch of Lahore will behave in this crucial encounter.

If you are looking for a flat track in Pakistan, then Lahore will suit you the best. The average first innings score here at this venue is 251. Even the last game at this venue which was between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka was high-scoring, as Bangladesh managed to smash 334 easily. Both the captains will look to bat first and aim to score anything above 300 which will put them in the driver's seat. 

The pitch offers a subtle seam movement under the lights which will make the chase difficult. Even the teams batting first have won 33 games while chasing teams have won 30. So, batting first on this pitch seems to be the key to winning or we will have something extraordinary to witness in this crucial encounter between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.
