Can Sri Lanka see 2025 off with silverware?

Take on Pakistan in T20I Tri-Series final today

Can Sri Lanka see 2025 off with silverware?

Rival Captains Salman Agha of Pakistan and Dasun Shanaka of Sri Lanka

HAVING gone through a difficult second half of the year with a home series loss to Bangladesh, two defeats in four against Zimbabwe and a bottom-place finish in the Asia Cup Super Fours, Sri Lanka will look to finish 2025 with a silverware when they take on host Pakistan in the final of the T20I Tri-Series final at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium today.

The start of the Pakistan tour did not augur well for Sri Lanka as they lost the three-match ODI series 3-0 and began the T20I Tri-Series with back-to-back losses against Zimbabwe and Pakistan, stretching their losing streak in white ball cricket to 8 matches since the Asia Cup Super Fours.

When everything looked bleak for the team and an early exit was on the cards in the Tri Series, the team managed to bounce back with a convincing 9-wicket win against Zimbabwe and follow it up with a close six-run victory over Pakistan to earn the right to play in the final.
