Sri Lanka vs Pakistan Chance of Winning

Sri Lanka were brilliant in the group stages as they dominated and eventually made the Super Eight. In the Super Eight their batting lineup failed to show up as they lost back to back games and have been knocked out this term. In the last game they struggled against New Zealand as they lost the game by 61 runs.

Much like their opponents, Pakistan struggled in the batting department in the last outing against England. Pakistan were in the driving seat in the game but they lost the game by two wickets and need a win in the final game to stay in contention. As per our calculations, Pakistan are favourites in the upcoming game.

  • Sri Lanka’ chances of winning - 42%
  • Pakistan’ chances of winning - 58%

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan Prediction & Tips 2026

Kusal Mendis did not have a good game in the last outing but he has been outstanding this season and has scored 197 runs which includes three half centuries which makes us believe he will do well in the upcoming game.

Babar Azam has struggled in this format and we expect him to continue to struggle in this campaign. In the last innings even though he scored well, we believe he will score low in the upcoming game.
