Overview
- Persistent rain at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium forced officials to abandon the second T20I without a toss or a ball bowled.
- Pakistan hold a 1–0 lead after a six-wicket win in the opener, chasing 128 in 16.4 overs led by Sahibzada Farhan’s 51 and three-wicket hauls from Salman Mirza and Abrar Ahmed.
- The third and final T20I is scheduled for Sunday in Dambulla and will determine the series result.
- Both sides are using the short series to assess combinations ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, which Sri Lanka will co-host with India.
- Forecasts indicate potential showers for the finale, and Pakistan continue without Babar Azam and Haris Rauf due to BBL commitments and Shaheen Shah Afridi due to injury rehab.
