On Saturday, February 28, Pakistan will take on Sri Lanka in the last Super 8 match of group B in this T20 World Cup 2026. It is a dead-rubber game for the Island Nation, who are already out of the tournament. However, for the Salman Agha-led side, it is an important game with a lot at stake.

For the unversed, there is a spot left for the semi-finals and the Men in Green are still in contention. They would pray for New Zealand to lose and then they beat Sri Lanka by a big margin to still qualify. It won't be an easy task and the 2009 World Cup winners will have to produce their best game to clinch the favourable result.

The two heavyweights will lock horns at the Pallekele Stadium in Kandy. The two teams have played all their games in Sri Lanka and will be well aware of the conditions. Talking about Pakistan, their last match was against England at the very same venue and suffered a 2-wicket defeat.

Pakistan, batting first, rode on Sahibzada Farhan's fifty and put 164/9 on the board. In reply,  Shaheen Afridi took a four-fer and Pakistan were on course of a win, but Harry Brook came out of syllabus. The England captain slammed a century and shattered Pakistan's hopes.

Nonetheless, the Men in Green have a big task in their hands ahead of the coming game and this article will shed light on Pakistan vs Sri Lanka pitch+weather report.

The Pallekele Stadium will offer a nice bounce and assistance to the seamers early on. Like how Shaheen Afridi rattled England's top-order, the pacers will get the help from the surface to trouble the batters.

It won't be a batting paradise and the batters will have to apply proper cricketing shots to score runs. Interestingly, the spinners too will have a lot to offer in this track. As the ball gets old, the spinners will be dangerous and the batters will have to be careful with the high degree of turn.

Another important factor is dew. Since this is an evening match, dew may appear later and make batting easier in the second innings
