Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Team Preview & Squads
Pakistan
Salman Agha has taken charge with a refreshing proactive attitude, balancing composure and tactical aggression. His on-field decisions, especially bowler rotations, have helped Pakistan manage pressure moments perfectly so far.
PAK’s batting unit looks stacked with stroke-makers across all phases — from aggressive openers to versatile finishers. The pairing of Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, and Saim Ayub gives them both stability and explosiveness. The presence of all-rounders like Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Nawaz adds late-order security.
PAK attack is once again led by the lethal Shaheen Shah Afridi – Naseem Shah pace duo, capable of rattling top orders within the powerplay. Abrar Ahmed and Mohammad Nawaz provide quality spin-overs in the middle. The addition of Mohammad Wasim and Salman Mirza ensures Pakistan don’t run out of pace options.
Pakistan delivered a commanding performance by posting a massive 195/5 on the board. Their bowlers then dismantled Zimbabwe, restricting them to 126 and securing a 69-run victory. Pakistan dominated both innings tactically and physically. The win boosted their net run rate and morale at the perfect moment in the tournament.

Sri Lanka
Dasun Shanaka remains a calm and instinctive leader, known for backing players even during pressure phases. His decisions to counterattack rather than defend have been crucial to Sri Lanka’s recent white-ball resurgence.
SL top order is full of anchors-turned-aggressors, Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, and Kusal Perera are currently converting starts into big scores. The middle order has match-winners like Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Janith Liyanage waiting to punish loose bowling. When chasing, Sri Lanka looks even more dangerous because they pace innings naturally.
SL attack mixes raw speed and spin variation, Dushmantha Chameera provides heat, while Wanindu Hasaranga and Theekshana exploit drift and turn. Nuwan Thushara’s slingy action troubles even in-form batters, especially under lights. With Vijayakanth Viyaskanth available too, Sri Lanka never runs out of spin options.
Zimbabwe put up 146/5, but Sri Lanka chased the target effortlessly. They reached 148/1 in 16.2 overs, sealing a 9-wicket win with 22 balls remaining. It was a clinical display of controlled aggression by their top order. Their bowlers and batters both executed their plans perfectly.

PAK vs SL Outfield Report
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium
The Rawalpindi pitch offers early movement for fast bowlers before flattening out for batters. Scores often depend on the ability to survive the opening overs. Spinners find grip only in the second innings as the surface slows slightly.
Weather conditions are expected to be mostly clear with cool evening temperatures around 17–19°C. Humidity might rise later, causing a hint of dew, which could influence bowling grip. Teams may prefer to chase if the dew becomes significant.
Historically, Rawalpindi has produced first-innings scores between 165 and 195 in T20Is. Anything below 155 becomes risky to defend under lights, but totals over 185 usually put pressure on the chasing side. A high-scoring match is expected unless early wickets collapse momentum.
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Head-to-Head Stats of Last 5 Matches
Pakistan and Sri Lanka have split their last five T20I meetings very evenly, making this fixture unpredictable. Momentum and execution in the first six overs, both batting and bowling, will likely decide the winner.
