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

PAK vs SL: The T20I tri-series has come to its conclusion as Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be facing each other in the final. Sri Lanka beat Zimbabwe and Pakistan in consecutive games to reach this stage. The final will be placed at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Saturday at 6:30 PM IST. Both teams will be hoping to win the final and the tri-series. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and other details of this game.

Pakistan Preview

Pakistan have been superb in the last month or so, and they have been undefeated in the white-ball format. But they lost the last game. The positive for them was the return in form for Captain Salman Agha, who scored a fifty. Mohammad Nawaz and Usman Khan also did well with the bat.

• Key Batter: Sahibzada Farhan and Babar Azam are two key batters for Pakistan for the final on Saturday.
• Captaincy: Captain Salman Agha scored a vital fifty in the last game and almost pulled things for his team.
• Batting Strength: The top order couldn’t do much in the last game, but they had a pretty good game earlier. Salman Agha scored fifty; Usman Khan and Mohammad Nawaz are playing cameos. Fakhar Zaman has runs. Sahibzada Farhan is the leading scorer in this series, and Babar Azam has a fifty. So, the batting is looking good.
• Bowling Attack: Pakistan rested Shaheen and Abrar in a few games, but both bowlers are likely to be back for the hosts. They will add more experience to the line. They are wicket-takers and know the conditions, which will be key for them.

Sri Lanka Preview

Sri Lanka have two good wins under their belts now, and they are in the final. But the problem is they are not consistent at all. They need support from their top order. Pathum Nissanka and Kamil Mishara have looked in form, which is a good sign for them.

• Batting: Pathum Nissanka against Zimbabwe and Kamil Mishara against Pakistan played good innings, which is a good sign for this team. But the other batters also need to support. If Sri Lanka lose these two early, then the other batters should fire.
• Bowling: Dushmantha Chameera had an incredible spell, and he defended 9 runs in the final overs. Apart from him, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana are also bowling well. They just need good spells from the fourth and fifth bowling options.

Top Batters

• Sahibzada Farhan (PAK): Sahibzada Farhan has scored two consecutive half-centuries before the last game. But he is in good form.
• Babar Azam (PAK): Babar Azam has always bounced back well after a duck. He scored a duck in the last game and is expected to do well.
• Pathum Nissanka (SL): Pathum Nissanka is leading scorer for Sri Lanka across formats in 2025. He is the one that set the platform for this team.

Top Bowlers

• Naseem Shah (PAK): Naseem Shah has been bowling well and he is taking wickets with the new ball.
• Dushmantha Chameera (SL): Dushmantha Chameera bowled a match-winning spell of 4/20 and he will be pumped up after that win.

PAK vs SL Match Prediction – Who Will Win?

Pakistan lost the last game against Sri Lanka, but they were trying some new faces. But for the final, they will be back with their best bowling unit. That can change things in their favor. Surely, Sri Lanka will be confident after the last win, but it wasn’t clinical as they would have liked. We believe Pakistan are expected to win the final with their full-strength side.
