SL vs ZIM Weather Report, Pitch Report Of Rawalpindi- Pakistan T20I Tri Series 2025, Match 5:

There is no chance of rain during the SL vs ZIM game in Rawalpindi. The maximum temperature is predicted to be 22°C, while the minimum temperature would be 6°C.
SL vs ZIM Pitch Report of Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium:
The wicket at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium was good for batting in the previous game of the T20I tri-series between Pakistan and Zimbabwe, and is predicted to be the same for the upcoming game.
The ball is expected to come nicely on the bat, with the batters being able to play their shots by trusting the bounce after negotiating the first couple of overs.
As far as the bowlers are concerned, they should look to extract whatever help is available in the pitch and get it to swing the ball when it is new.
Once the ball gets old, the bowlers will have to rely on the change of pace and bowl a lot of cutters and slower balls in order to outfox the batters and induce a false shot.
If we talk about the spinners, they can also get purchase from the wicket if they vary their pace and give the ball some air, as Usman Tariq did in the previous match.
Having said that, they would hope that dew doesn't play spoil sport in the second innings of the game and the batters post enough runs on the board to play with.
However, no dew or the lack of it won't guarantee a win for the team bowling second; the spinners will have to pitch the ball in the right areas to cause problems for the batters.
With the temperature being on the lower side, the pacers can get a lot more swing than normal, which can increase Zimbabwe's chances of winning, as the pace bowling lineup of the Sikandar Raza-led side is a far better form than that of Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, relies on its spinners, especially on Wanindu Hasaranga, to get them over the line, which the all-rounder hasn't been able to do so far in the first couple of matches.
Sri Lanka would look to give a strong performance in all three departments of the game and clinch the SL vs ZIM match in question in order to stay alive in the tournament.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, just needs to win the match against Sri Lanka to qualify for the final against Pakistan.
Conclusion
Sri Lanka would like to register its first win in the Pakistan T20I tri-series after back-to-back losses when they take on Zimbabwe in what is a do-or-die game for the 2014 T20 World Cup winners.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, would want to get back to winning ways after a disappointing loss in the previous game against Pakistan.
