Pakistan has dominated the opening two matches of the series; their batting and overall team performance have been significantly stronger than Sri Lanka's. In the first T20I, Pakistan successfully chased down a target of 183 runs, securing a four-wicket victory with seven balls to spare. Batting became easier in the second innings due to the dew, which aided the home team in achieving the target.
