Pakistan will be hosting its first-ever T20I tri-series involving Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, starting from November 18 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. A total of seven matches will be played with the top two teams after the league stage playing the final on November 29. All the matches will be played at the same venue - Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka are coming into this tri-series following a three-match ODI series, which the Men in Green won 3-0. Meanwhile, the Sri Lankan will miss the services of captain Charith Asalanka and pacer Asitha Fernando, who will be returning home due to illness.
With Asalanka unavailable, Dasun Shanaka will lead Sri Lanka during the tri-series. Pavan Rathnayake has been added to the T20I squad as a replacement. It is also to be noted that Zimbabwe was added as the third team in the tri-series after Afghanistan pulled out.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) withdrew from the tri-series after three local cricketers were killed in an air strike in Urgon district in Paktika province which the country blamed Pakistan for. The withdrawal came in respect for the dead.
Unfortunately, no Indian television channel has got the broadcast or live streaming rights for the Pakistan-Sri Lanka-Zimbabwe T20I Tri-series 2025. This is probably due to the strained relationship between India and Pakistan in recent times, especially after the Pahalgam terror attack.
However, fans can still tune in to Sports TV YouTube channel for live streaming of all the games.
