Amidst the uncertainty regarding the nature of the wicket, one thing is for sure that the batters will have to play with caution in the first couple of overs, as it isn't going to be a typical T20 wicket, which is good for batting.

The pitch is expected to have variable bounce, with certain bowls keeping low and some bouncing more than one would anticipate.

The reason for the inconsistency in bounce is the amount of cricket that has been played at this venue in the last couple of months.

The stadium hosted a few games involving Pakistan and South Africa, the entire PAK vs SL ODI series, and is currently the centre of the tri series, which in turn has caused a lot ware and tear on the wicket, hence making it a bit challenging for batting.

Having said that, both teams would want to put their best foot forward in an attempt to win the match, as they have all the resources to do so in the batting as well as bowling departments.

The team that wins the toss should look to bat first, as chasing hasn't been easy in the two matches played so far in the series.

However, merely batting first won't guarantee a win for either team, as they will have to get a decent score on the board for the bowlers to have something to defend, with dew also coming into play in the second innings.

Going by how the pitch has played in the second innings in the first couple of matches, 170-180 is what the team batting first should look to score to have a chance of getting the opposition under pressure.

Anything less the that will keep the other team in the hunt, as was the case in the first match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe.

Conclusion

Pakistan would want to put on a strong performance with the bat in the upcoming match after finding themselves reduced to 54-4 in the chase against Zimbabwe.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, would like to get back to winning ways and open their account in the tri-series after an embarrassing loss against Zimbabwe.
