Match preview & overview
Pakistan ease to 6-wicket win as Sri Lanka fold for 114 in Rawalpindi T20I
Pakistan Cricket beat Sri Lanka Cricket by 6 wickets in the T20 international at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on 29 November 2025. Sri Lanka, put in to bat after Pakistan won the toss and chose to field, made a promising start before a catastrophic collapse in the death overs left them on 114 all out. Pakistan's reply was measured rather than explosive, but they were rarely troubled, reaching 118 for 4 to seal a comfortable win. Mohammad Nawaz was named Player of the Match.
The match turned in the final phase of Sri Lanka's innings. After 56 runs for 1 wicket in the powerplay and 48 for 4 through the middle overs, Sri Lanka lost their last 5 wickets for just 10 runs in the death, falling from a position that might have yielded 150-plus to one that gave Pakistan very little to worry about. It was a pattern that has hurt Sri Lanka before at this venue.

Betting & analytical angles
Angles the data surfaced
- Top batter markets may offer more nuance than outright result lines on low-scoring Rawalpindi surfaces, where an individual innings can account for a large share of the team total.
- Sri Lanka's death-overs collapse suggests wicket markets in the final phase could attract attention in similar fixtures at this ground.
- Pakistan's chase success rate at Rawalpindi aligns with the ground's broader 60% figure for second-innings wins, which may be worth factoring into match-result markets.
- Player of the Match markets could be influenced by all-rounders like Mohammad Nawaz when totals are low and a single multi-contribution performance can swing the game.
