SL vs PAK Head-to-Head Records- Key Statistics
Sri Lanka and Pakistan have gone head-to-head against each other in 27 T20I matches so far, and it is Pakistan that has the lead over its opponent.
The Men in Green have got the better of Sri Lanka on 16 occasions, while Sri Lanka have succeeded in winning 11 games against them
The two teams will meet for the fifth time since the 2025 Asia Cup, having been involved in a T20I tri-series in Pakistan, which was played in November last year, with Zimbabwe being the third side.
Sri Lanka and Pakistan played the final of that particular series, with Pakistan coming out victorious after getting rid of Sri Lanka in the fixture to end the year with a win and keep the strong record that they had in this format of the game in 2025 in check.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, had a forgettable white ball tour of Pakistan, which was evident by the fact that the team’s limited-overs captain Charith Asalanka had to return home due to illness, and it was Dasun Shanka who took over as the captain.
The temporary change was made permanent as Shanka has been named as Sri Lanka’s T20I skipper for the upcoming T20 World Cup and the home series against Pakistan and England prior to that
If we talk about the result of the last five T20I matches played between Sri Lanka and Pakistan, the latter has a one-match lead with three wins as compared to the former’s two.
Shanaka would wish to improve Sri Lanka’s recent T20I performances against higher-ranked sides and go into the World Cup with confidence in putting on a strong performance with both bat and ball.
