PAK vs SL Match Prediction 6th T20I, Pakistan T20I Tri-Series 2025: Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report

PAK vs SL: The race for the second finalist in the T20I tri-series in Pakistan will see the final group game. Pakistan have managed to qualify for the tri-series final, and the next game will determine the second finalist. Pakistan will take on Sri Lanka in this game, which will start at 6:30 PM IST on Thursday at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and other details for this game.

Pakistan Preview

Pakistan have been superb in the last month or so, and they have been undefeated in the white-ball format. They have already made it to the final of the ongoing tri-series. Pakistan will now face Sri Lanka in the next game of the tri-series, and they will be keen to head into the final with another win.

• Key Batter: Sahibzada Farhan and Babar Azam are two key batters to watch out for in the next game.
• Captaincy: Captain Salman Agha has been pretty disappointed in this format. He has been poor with the bat.
• Batting Strength: Farhan and Saim Ayub make a strong pair at the top. Farhan has scored two fifties in consecutive games, and Ayub has done well. Babar scored a vital fifty in the last game. Fakhar Zaman and Usman Khan scored runs in the first game. Mohammad Nawaz did well in the death overs.
• Bowling Attack: Usman Tariq recorded a hat trick in the last game. Pakistan are changing their bowling unit consistently, but still the bowlers who are coming in their place are performing. Naseem Shah has been good, and Pakistani spinners are taking wickets properly.

Zimbabwe Preview

Sri Lanka started with two consecutive defeats, but they won the last game against Zimbabwe, which gave them a chance to make it to the final. But for the ticket to the final, they need to beat Pakistan. Zimbabwe have a better NRR than Sri Lanka, so that means Dasun Shanaka and his men have no other choice than winning.

• Batting: Pathum Nissanka looked back in form and slammed an unbeaten 98 runs in the last game. He was at his best, and it will be a big boost for them as they go into this game. Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera are playing a good supporting role. They just need good contributions from the middle order.
• Bowling: Wanindu Hasaranga has been good in Pakistan. Maheesh Theekshana is another good performer. The only thing that Sri Lanka lack is the wickets with the new ball.
