SL vs PAK Dream11 Match Prediction | Sri Lanka vs Pakistan Match Preview | 1st T20I

Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, 05th October at 07:00 PM IST

Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will be hosting the T20I series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The first T20 is scheduled to take place at 07:00 PM IST.

It was a disappointing start for Sri Lanka in this tour as they lost the three-match ODI series 0-2. Their task will get even tougher when they face the hosts in the shortest format of the game who are currently ranked number one in the world.

What destiny prevails for a depleted Sri Lankan side? We will find the answers when the two teams will take the field tomorrow, i.e. 05th of October.
