Preview

In the 5th T20 match of the Pakistan T20 Tri-Series 2025, Sri Lanka (SL) is set to face Zimbabwe (ZIM) in this exciting contest. Sri Lanka, once considered the number one team in Asia, is performing very poorly. In the Pakistan Tri-series, they also had to face defeat against Zimbabwe in their first match. In the two matches played so far, Sri Lanka has lost both the matches. In their last match, they suffered a massive seven-wicket defeat against Pakistan. This match will be most important for the team to play the final, which they would like to win at any cost.


On the other hand, Zimbabwe have had a decent run in the series, winning just one match and losing two, but they surprised everyone by bowling out Sri Lanka for 95. However, they suffered a huge defeat of 69 runs against Pakistan in the last match. This match will be crucial for Zimbabwe as they look to beat Sri Lanka again and secure a place in the final of the tri-series.

Pitch Report

The pitch at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is considered good for batters. But the last match shows that bowlers also get decent help in the second inning of the match. Looking at the matches played so far, it seems that the team batting first will have a bit easier to score here. However, due to the dew factor, the toss-winning team will want to chase the target.
