It's all very well for Mickey Arthur, Pakistan coach, to talk about ruthlessness on the eve of this clash but Pakistan, even at the best of times, was never known to be a team that consistently beat opponents anywhere let alone in an ICC tournament. That said , having beaten the World Cup favourites in a close encounter , Pakistan should expect 2 easy points against 9th ranked Sri Lanka provided the weather doesn't play spoilsport.

They need to play very badly to loose the game. Sri Lankan bowling is quite weak

Chinta na karo.  Sab kuch Kushal (mangal) hoga. 

 

To clarify - even a badly weakened SL team has the habit of pulling the odd surprising win in these tournaments.  Think back to CT 2017.

Current SL team is weaker than CT team. Unless lakmal and Fernando get to bowl first on a greenish pitch and bowl out Pakistan below 150, I see no chance for SL. Their best bet to get a point is rain.

Just like Pak is down 6-0 from India in wc , SL is down 7-0 against Pakistan. Very difficult for this lankan team to break the streak

Pakistan is favorites but SL does have a chance. SL spin attack is weak. Their medium pacers and fielding unit must stand or Pakistan will run away with a big score and cause trouble. Best chance for SL to win is bat first and put on 270 and then hope for Pak to collapse. They did bowl well against Afghanistan on a. decent bowling pitch.
