Sri Lanka will take on England in the sixth match of the Pakistan ODI Tri-Series 2026 on Thursday, 29 October, at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, with the match starting at 1:30 PM IST. Sri Lanka have strengthened their position with two wins from three matches, including an impressive chase against England and a convincing eight-wicket victory over Pakistan. England, meanwhile, have suffered three consecutive defeats and will aim to end their campaign on a positive note. Consequently, the contest presents Sri Lanka with an opportunity to maintain their winning momentum, while England will look to deliver a stronger performance.
Sri Lanka enter this fixture with plenty of confidence after dominating Pakistan on 27 October. Their bowlers dismissed Pakistan for just 110 in 25.3 overs before the batters completed the chase at 114/2 in 18.1 overs to secure an eight-wicket win. Dilshan Madushanka led the bowling attack with an outstanding 5/34, while Kamindu Mendis anchored the chase with an unbeaten 62 off 60 balls. Avishka Fernando contributed 16, and Pavan Rathnayake remained unbeaten on 23. Moreover, Sri Lanka’s disciplined bowling and calm approach with the bat have given them a strong platform heading into this match.
England, on the other hand, suffered a narrow one-wicket defeat against Pakistan on 25 October despite producing a competitive batting performance. Ben Duckett struck an excellent 105 off 111 balls, while Sam Curran added 42 as England posted 241 before getting dismissed in 46.4 overs. Pakistan then recovered from 193/9, with Shadab Khan’s unbeaten 113 guiding them to victory. Therefore, England must support their batting efforts with greater consistency from the bowling unit and perform better under pressure. Sri Lanka will look to exploit any weaknesses and carry their recent form into this encounter, while England need a complete team performance to finish the series strongly.
