Pakistan won the toss and opted to field first in the third T20 match against Sri Lanka.
In the third and final match of the T20 series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, Pakistan cricket team captain Salman Ali Agha won the toss and invited the hosts to bat first.
Due to rain in Dambulla, the toss—scheduled for 6:00 pm Pakistan time—was delayed and eventually took place at 8:30 pm. As a result, the match was reduced to 12 overs per side.
After winning the toss, Pakistan captain Salman Agha said that since the match had been shortened, the team decided to bowl first.
Both teams made two changes to their playing XIs. For Pakistan, Khawaja Nafay is making his debut, while Naseem Shah has also been included in the squad.
It is worth noting that Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets in the first T20, while the second match was washed out due to rain. The Green Shirts hold a 1–0 lead in the three-match series.
