Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 5th ODI of the Pakistan Tri-Series 2026 between PAK vs SL to be played in Lahore.
The ongoing ODI tri-series in Pakistan has been highly exciting, with every match keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Pakistan are coming off a nail-biting win over England in the last game.
Shadab Khan scored an incredible century to take Pakistan to a dramatic win. With that win, Pakistan also qualified for the final with one match left to play. They will face Sri Lanka in their next group game on Tuesday.
The contest will begin at 1:30 PM IST at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. This is a must-win game for Sri Lanka, and a win here will push them into the final. But a defeat will put them in danger of elimination.
On the other hand, it is a dead rubber for Pakistan, and they might make some changes to their playing XI. Sahibzada Farhan replaced Saim Ayub for the remainder of the tri-series.

PAK vs SL: Pitch Report
Gaddafi Stadium generally offers a flat deck for the batters. However, as seen in the last game, there was some grass, and pacers will get good assistance.
That is what we can expect from this wicket. Fast bowlers will play a crucial role, but dew in the second innings could level the playing field for the team chasing the target.
