Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, T20I Tri-Series Final Predictions

Pakistan had been unbeaten before losing their last group match to Sri Lanka, who finally pulled out a strong batting performance to clinch back-to-back wins to sneak into the final. Pakistan have been so strong in this series that I don’t think Sri Lanka will have what it takes to beat them in the final.

Pakistan skipper Salman Agha admitted his side were up against it after slipping to 40 for 4. “You don't often come back and chase it down. I think it was gettable with the dew coming in but we lost too many wickets in the powerplay and gave away too many runs in the powerplay. If you give too many runs in the powerplay, you'll always be chasing the game,” said Agha.

After losing their first two matches in the series, Sri Lanka got their groove back by winning their last two matches in the group on the bounce to sneak into the final.

Kusal Mendis has been making starts but struggling to convert them into bigger scores, making 20, 34, 25* and 40 in his last six innings. Pathum Nissanka’s 98* is the highest score of the series, but also his only score above 17.

Dushmantha Chameera was named Player of the Match after the win over Pakistan. “My plan was to bowl straight, wicket to wicket, in the powerplay and use change of pace. After the dew, it was easy to bat... my plan was to use yorkers and I tried to stick to my strengths, and the execution was right,” said Chameera.
