Sri Lanka vs Pakistan 1st T20 Match, Live Streaming Details: The three-match T20I series between Sri Lanka and Pakistan will begin with a big match at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. This series will be the final preparation for both teams before the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which starts in February. Here's how you can watch the live streaming and live telecast of the first T20 match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
Several key Pakistani players, including star batsman Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi (injured), and Haris Rauf, will not be participating in this series as they are committed to playing in the Big Bash League (BBL). The Pakistani team features some new faces, but considering the circumstances, they have a decent squad.
Sri Lanka is ready with its first-choice players and will be looking to find the right balance ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Pakistan will be playing all its matches for the upcoming ICC event in Sri Lanka, and this series will be an excellent opportunity for them to adapt to the conditions there.
