The Pakistan T20I Tri-Series 2025 brings an exciting three-way contest between hosts Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe. Played from November 18 to November 29, the entire tournament will take place at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, where fans can expect a fast-paced and high-scoring brand of cricket. With all three sides eager to sharpen their combinations ahead of major ICC assignments, this tri-series carries significant strategic value.
Pakistan, led by Shaheen Afridi, enter the competition with strong momentum and a squad rich in power-hitters and wicket-taking options. Despite minor fitness concerns to a few all-rounders, the Men in Green boast stability through players like Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan, who will anchor the batting unit. Sri Lanka, captained by Kusal Mendis, rely heavily on their seasoned spinners and composed top order, though late injuries to pacers have forced quick squad reshuffles. Zimbabwe, under Sikandar Raza’s leadership, bring a rejuvenated side featuring fearless young batters and improving fast bowlers, making them a potential dark horse of the tournament.
