After an impressive home series win over South Africa, Pakistan will look to continue their white-ball dominance as they take on Sri Lanka in the first ODI of the three-match series at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium today.
This series marks another key step in Shaheen Shah Afridi’s journey as ODI captain, as he aims to build on a strong start to his leadership following Pakistan’s 2–1 victory against the Proteas.
Pakistan enter the contest not only with current momentum but with history on their side as well. In 30 ODI matches played in Pakistan between these two sides, the home team has won 18, while Sri Lanka has claimed 12 victories. This will also be the visitors’ first bilateral ODI series in Pakistan since the 2019–20 tour, which the hosts won 2–0.
Pakistan also holds a significant overall head-to-head advantage, with 93 wins to Sri Lanka’s 59. However, Sri Lanka—known for their discipline and fighting spirit—will be eager to challenge Pakistan and make a statement on foreign soil.
Pakistani fans can catch all the action live on three major cable channels: PTV Sports, A Sports, and Ten Sports, with high-definition coverage and expert analysis. For those who prefer online streaming, the match will be available live on Tapmad and Tamasha, ensuring fans don’t miss a moment—whether at home or on the go.
