Interestingly, they have a 70% win rate in recent home ODIs, although they have won just four in their 14 ODIs this year. They will rely on the brilliance of Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Salman Agha for batting, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Faheem Ashraf, Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, and Saim Ayub for bowling.

Sri Lanka Preview
Sri Lanka have not been impressive in their last game, having lost their last three ODIs. However, they seem to be rebuilding under the new captain, Charith Asalanka. Their recent Asia Cup losses also showed the team’s vulnerabilities against pace. Asalanka, who has topped Sri Lanka’s limited-overs batting charts since January 2025 with 456 runs in 10 matches. Asitha Fernando, with 22 wickets in 10 ODI matches since January 2025, leads the bowling attack. Sri Lanka recently won two 50-over games against Zimbabwe and aims to carry that form into the series against Pakistan.
Key Players: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Janith Liyanage, Kamindu Mendis
