Pakistan's former captain, batter and chief selector Inzamamul Haq has shared some advice for the team's captain Babar Azam and batsman Fakhar Zaman.
Inzamam has recommended both the batters score more runs in the field rather than staying on the pitch for a longer time.
The team's performance on the batting front, in the Asia Cup tournament, has been concerning with skipper Babar managing merely 30 runs throughout the mega event.
The former captain of Pakistan's cricket team said that he hopes for Pakistan's win in the Asian tournament's finale against the Lankan Lions scheduled for today (Sunday) at 7pm.
"Pakistan's fight against Sri Lanka wasn't visible in the Super 4 match between the two sides, but today we will celebrate the victory of the Men in Green inshallah," the former cricketer said.
Inzamam added that he would suggest team Pakistan play positive cricket.
"Batters always gain confidence when they score, not by staying at the wicket," he said, encouraging Pakistani batters to attack the Sri Lankan bowlers.
He said that the Green Shirts are good at the game and the bowling of the opposing side is not good enough to stop Pakistan from scoring.
"Our bowling is better than any of the teams participating in Asia Cup 2022," Inzamam said, adding that Pakistan are able to restrict Sri Lanka in the second innings if the former score 170-175 by opting to bat first.
Sri Lanka are poised for an unlikely Asia Cup victory over favourites Pakistan in today's final after a giant-slaying streak through the tournament despite troubles at home.
Friday's closing Super Four match was a dress rehearsal for the Dubai final — and Sri Lanka's fourth straight victory, albeit with Pakistan missing two of their key players.
The two players, Shadab Khan and Naseem Shah will lengthen Sri Lanka's odds when they return for the final.
Pakistan, despite their own troubles at home, have shone through the tournament, a curtain-raiser for next month's T20 World Cup in Australia, avenging an opening game loss to India and clinching a last-over thriller against Afghanistan.
Their latest loss to Sri Lanka might have stalled their momentum, but head coach Saqlain Mushtaq said the team will heed the lessons of Friday's match-up.
