SL vs PAK Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 3rd, Sri Lanka vs Pakistan T20I series 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 3rd T20I of the Sri Lanka vs Pakistan T20I series 2026 between SL vs PAK to be played in Dambulla.

Pakistan had a great start to the ongoing T20I series in Sri Lanka and recorded an easy win in the first game. But the second T20I ended without a play because of the rain. That left the tourist leading the series by 1-0.

Now, these two sides are ready to take on each other in the final game on Sunday at Dambulla Rangiri International Stadium. Pakistan can’t lose the series now, so we can see some changes to their lineup.

For Sri Lanka, this is an even more important game, as the home series is on the line. Secondly, they have been struggling to perform in the last few months. So, they need a strong performance to level the series and earn confidence ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 next month.
