Pakistan Vs Sri Lanka LIVE Streaming, T20 World Cup 2026: Where To Watch, Weather Forecast Today And Pitch Report

Pakistan face Sri Lanka in their final Super 8 fixture of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Saturday, February 28, at the Pallekele International Stadium. For Pakistan, this is a must-win encounter to have any hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals. For Sri Lanka, there’s little more than pride to play for in front of the home crowd.

Pakistan’s campaign hangs in the balance after a washout against New Zealand and a narrow two-wicket loss against England. Those results mean that the Green Shirts not only need to beat Sri Lanka by a hefty margin, but also hope that results elsewhere go their way.

Against England, Pakistan’s bowling attack did well while defending a meagre total of 164, pushing the Three Lions to the very last over. Shaheen Shah Afridi shone with four wickets, but ultimately fell short.

The Pakistani bowlers would fancy themselves against Sri Lanka’s fragile top order. The co-hosts, already eliminated from semi-final contention after back-to-back defeats, saw their batting problems exposed in the heavy loss to New Zealand, where they were restricted to 107/8 while chasing 168.
