Sri Lanka head into today’s tri-series final with renewed confidence, remarkably turning their fortunes around after nearly 20 disappointing days in Rawalpindi. Winless in the ODI leg and hammered by Zimbabwe earlier in the tournament, they staged a stunning revival with back-to-back victories, including a nail-biting finish against Pakistan. Another spirited display could see them transform a troubled tour into a triumphant one. In the match Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl first.
Pakistan, however, enter the final as favourites, having dominated Sri Lanka for most of the month and maintaining a strong T20 record in a busy build-up to the 2026 World Cup. They know that even a slight improvement in their bowling and top-order batting should tilt the contest their way.
For Sri Lanka, co-hosts of next year’s global event, Saturday offers a chance to salvage a difficult year with silverware.
