The third and final match of the three-match One Day International (ODI) series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka is scheduled to take place today at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Pakistan already holds an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, aiming to achieve a clean sweep in the concluding fixture.
Pakistan secured a narrow six-run victory in the first ODI, followed by a commanding eight-wicket win in the second match, largely powered by an unbeaten century from Captain Babar Azam. Interestingly, the Pakistani ODI squad opted for a rest day on Saturday instead of holding a practice session prior to the final game.
The conclusion of this series marks the transition to the Tri-Nation Series, set to begin on November 18. The T20 squads of both Pakistan and Sri Lanka were seen practicing at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, fine-tuning their preparations for the forthcoming tournament. Today’s match offers both sides their final opportunity to assess their performance in the 50-over format before shifting focus to the T20 arena.
