Pakistan Preview
Pakistan have been exceptional since the start of this tournament, and at the moment, they are leading the Tri-Nation T20I series with an unbeaten record, securing 3 wins and a net run rate of +2.016. In their last match, they beat Zimbabwe by 69 runs. Batting first, Pakistan posted 195/5, fueled by Sahibzada Farhan's 63 off 41, Babar Azam's 74 off 52, and a quick 27 off 10 from Fakhar Zaman. In the chase, Zimbabwe lost early wickets. Despite Ryan Burl's 67 off 49 and Sikandar Raza's 23, Zimbabwe fell short by 69 runs. While they have already booked their place in the final, they will want to keep their winning record intact, especially after beating Sri Lanka once in this competition.

Sri Lanka Preview
Sri Lanka are currently in a tight corner in this competition and will potentially miss the final, as they are currently last on the standings with one win, two losses, and a NRR of -1.324. They won their last match against Zimbabwe by 9 wickets. Zimbabwe posted 146/5 (20 overs), with Brian Bennett (34), Sikandar Raza, and Ryan Burl contributing after early wickets. Sri Lanka chased this easily in the 17th over, driven by Pathum Nissanka's unbeaten 98 (58 balls, 11 fours, 4 sixes). They now enter this game with a must-win mentality to have a chance at the final, and players like Pathum Nissanka, Sri Lanka's top scorer in the series with 115 runs, and Wanindu Hasaranga, the top wicket-taker with 5 scalps, must wake up from their slumber to secure this win.
Key Players: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Janith Liyanage, Kamindu Mendis

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Prediction
Sri Lanka are in dire need of this win, but despite winning their last game, I doubt if they can secure a win against a team like Pakistan in this tournament. The host nation has been impressive since the start of this competition, and I expect them to go unbeaten till the final. Pakistan began this tournament impressively, and with the look of things they will continue in this high spirit. On the individual level, I think Sahibzada Farhan will be a player to look out for in the game. He is the leading run-scorer in the series with 159 runs in 3 matches, with a 157.42 strike rate. So, I think he will lead the Pakistan batting attack here.
