SL vs ZIM, T20I Tri-series 2025: Who will win today’s match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe?

The action continues in the Pakistan T20I Tri-Series as Sri Lanka lock horns with Zimbabwe in the second match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi.

Zimbabwe, coming off a thrilling and narrow 5-wicket loss to the hosts Pakistan in the series opener, will be eager to bounce back immediately and register their first points. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, will be aiming to start their campaign on a winning note and establish early momentum in the competition.

Sikandar Raza‘s men showed resilience in their opening fixture, pushing a strong Pakistan side close to the finish line. The team’s performance with the bat was promising, but they will be looking for a more clinical finish in both innings. Zimbabwe’s team will be motivated to prove that their first-match performance was not a fluke and secure a much-needed victory against the Islanders.

The Islanders will be playing their first match of the series and will want to make an immediate impact. Led by Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka boasts a blend of explosive batsmen and quality spinners, perfectly suited for the T20 format. The Lankans will focus on executing their plans, especially maximizing their spin attack against a team that might be vulnerable to it.

Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The surface at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium generally offers plenty of assistance to batters in white-ball formats. The bounce is reliable, the outfield is quick, and run-making becomes easier as the innings progresses, often pushing teams to target totals close to 180–190. Fast bowlers may find some movement with the new ball, especially under lights, but that advantage usually fades early.
