Pakistan vs Sri Lanka: the key dates
Pakistan and Sri Lanka meet on 18 October 2026 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium and again on 27 October at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore in the men’s ODI tri-series. England is the third team. The tournament runs from 18 to 31 October, with the final scheduled in Lahore. This is a dated guide to the announced fixtures, not a ball-by-ball match report.

The seven fixtures below follow the schedule published by the Pakistan Cricket Board and reproduced by the ICC. The first three games are in Rawalpindi; the remaining league games and final are in Lahore. Confirm any later venue or timing changes with the organizer before travelling.

How the tri-series works
Each team plays the other two teams twice, giving every side four league matches. The top two teams then meet in the final on 31 October. A final place is earned through the league stage; Pakistan vs Sri Lanka should not be described as the confirmed final pairing before the qualifiers are known.
Where to check the current score
Use the score panel below for third-party cricket coverage, or open the ICC fixtures and results page for the official match centre. Check the teams, date and format before reading a score. A recent Pakistan–Sri Lanka T20I, a women’s fixture or an older series is a different match. If the widget does not list this ODI, use the official source rather than treating another game’s score as its result.
ODI, T20I and Test: why the distinction matters
An ODI normally gives each team one innings of up to 50 overs. A T20I is the shorter 20-over format; Test cricket is a different multi-day format. The October ODI competition follows Pakistan and Sri Lanka’s earlier T20I series. Those results do not count as ODI tri-series results. The announced tour also includes a separate two-Test series in November.
A quick guide to reading the score
A score such as 120/3 means 120 runs for three wickets; it is an illustration, not today’s match score. In over notation, 20.4 means 20 completed overs and four legal balls, not 20.4 in decimal arithmetic. A normal over contains six legal balls. When comparing a chase, read the target, remaining overs and match status together; the runs alone do not tell the whole story.
