Head-2-Head record in 20-20 Cricket

The T20I cricket rivalry between Pakistan and Sri Lanka has a head-to-head record that includes several fiercely contested matches that have gone to the very end. One such game was the current tri-series' sixth match, which Sri Lanka won in the last over to secure a spot in the final versus the Men in Green.In the 26 games that Pakistan and Sri Lanka have played in this format, Pakistan has a four-match advantage over Sri Lanka, having won 15 of those games compared to 11 for Sri Lanka.

Pitch-Report

For the Pakistan T20I Tri-Series 2025 Final, the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium pitch provides a batting-friendly wicket with good speed, bounce, and a quick field that's ideal for big scores of 170–180. Although fast bowlers like Shaheen Afridi and Chameera can extract seam movement and swing with the new ball, first innings averages in previous tri-series matches have been around 194, encouraging bold strokeplay early on.  Dew may facilitate second-inning chases—teams bowling first having won the majority of recent Twenty20 Internationals here, while spinners like Wanindu Hasaranga and Abrar may find grip on rough patches later, particularly under lights.

Weather Report

There is no chance of rain interrupting with the proceedings of the match. The temperature is expected to be a high of 21 degrees and a low of 6 degrees.
