PAK vs SL Match Preview:
Pakistan will look to complete a dominant series sweep when they meet Sri Lanka in the third T20I of the Sri Lanka tour of Pakistan 2026 on 13 October at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi. The match will begin at 6:30 PM IST, with the hosts entering the contest holding an unassailable 2–0 lead after an emphatic 82-run victory in the second T20I. While Pakistan aim to maintain their winning momentum and finish the series on a high, Sri Lanka must deliver a determined response to avoid another defeat and salvage some pride from the tour.
Pakistan showcased their batting power in the second T20I by posting an imposing 215/3 in 20 overs. Maaz Sadaqat came agonisingly close to a maiden T20I century, smashing 96 off 51 deliveries with six fours and seven sixes, while Sahibzada Farhan reinforced the innings with an aggressive 73 off 44 balls. Fakhar Zaman also contributed 22 as Pakistan maintained the pressure throughout their innings. In response, Sri Lanka struggled to keep pace with the required rate and finished on 133/7. Maheesh Theekshana remained unbeaten on 32 off 26 balls, while Chamindu Wickramasinghe scored 29 and Kamindu Mendis added 23. However, Pakistan’s bowlers controlled the chase, with Muhammad Imran producing an outstanding spell of 3/11 in four overs and Mohammad Salman Mirza claiming 2/28 to seal a comprehensive victory.

Pakistan will approach the series finale with considerable confidence after combining explosive batting with disciplined bowling across the previous match. Sadaqat and Farhan have provided the top order with a formidable platform, while Muhammad Imran’s economical spell underlined the hosts’ ability to dominate with the ball. Nevertheless, Sri Lanka must find answers against Pakistan’s powerful batting lineup and prevent another middle-order collapse after losing five wickets for just 39 runs in the previous encounter. Kusal Mendis, Kamindu Mendis and Dasun Shanaka will need to shoulder greater responsibility, while the bowlers must execute their plans more effectively from the outset. Although Sri Lanka have the talent to mount a stronger challenge, Pakistan remain firmly in control and will back themselves to secure a clean sweep if they maintain their current intensity.
