Sri Lanka vs Pakistan Chance of Winning

Sri Lanka headed into this series after struggling to make an impact in the T20 format as they lost back to back series and had just two wins in the last eight matches. Their struggles continued in this series as they got outplayed by the visitors and they trail the series 1-0. Sri Lanka would be hoping to bounce back in this game.

Unlike their opponents, Pakistan continued their excellent form in this series as their bowlers dominated the proceedings. They restricted Sri Lanka to mere 128 runs and they managed to chase down the target and won the game by six wickets. As per our calculations, Pakistan are favourites in the upcoming game.

  • Sri Lanka’ chances of winning - 41%
  • Pakistan’ chances of winning - 59%

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan Prediction & Tips 2026

Kamil Mishara was brilliant in the Tri-Series against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe but he struggled in the last game as he scored a duck, we expect him to bounce back and do well in the upcoming game.

Saim Ayub had a decent game in the last outing as he scored 24 off 18 balls. He has struggled for consistency in this format and even though he scored well in the last game, we expect him to score low in the upcoming game.
