SL vs PAK Head-to-Head Records – Key Statistics
Sri Lanka and Pakistan have faced each other in 27 T20 matches so far and Pakistan has the lead over its opponent.
The Men in Green have got the better of Sri Lanka on 16 occasions, while Sri Lanka has managed to win 11 games against them.
The two teams will face each other for the fifth time since the 2025 Asia Cup, which included a T20 tri-series in Pakistan that was played in November last year, in which Zimbabwe was the third team.
Sri Lanka and Pakistan played the final of that particular series, in which Pakistan won by defeating Sri Lanka and ended the year with a win and maintained their strong record in this format of the game in 2025.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, had a forgettable white-ball tour of Pakistan, which was evident from the fact that the team’s limited-overs captain Charith Asalanka had to return home due to illness, and Dasun Shanka took over as captain.
The temporary change was made permanent as Shanka has been named as Sri Lanka’s T20I captain for the upcoming T20 World Cup and the home series against Pakistan and England before that.
If we talk about the results of the last five T20I matches played between Sri Lanka and Pakistan, Sri Lanka has taken a lead of one match with three wins compared to the first two matches.
Shanaka will be looking to improve on Sri Lanka’s recent T20 performances against higher-ranked teams and go into the World Cup with the confidence of producing strong performances with both bat and ball.
Pakistan has managed to win three of the last five PAK vs SL T20I matches, while Sri Lanka has come on the right side of the result twice.
Sri Lanka would like to start the series against Pakistan on the right note to build momentum for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Pakistan, on the other hand, will be aiming to continue the form they showed in this format of the game last year and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
