SL vs PAK Live Score Today T20 World Cup 2026 Live Match Updates: Openers Sahibzada Farhan broke Virat Kohli’s record for most runs in T20 World Cups, while veteran batter Fakhar Zaman slammed a quickfire half-century to power Pakistan’s onslaught against Sri Lanka in the final Super 8 clash of Group 2 of the T20 World Cup 2026 in Pallekele on Saturday. Stay tuned for PAK vs SL live score, live cricket score, PAK vs SL live cricket score, PAK vs SL live match updates, key moments, and real-time coverage from this blockbuster clash between Pakistan and Sri Lanka here on NewsX. Babar Azam, Saim Ayub and Salman Mirza dropped from Pakistan’s playing XI for the Super 8 clash against Sri Lanka. TOSS — Sri Lanka captain, Dasun Shanaka, wins the toss as the hosts decide to bowl first against Pakistan.
For Salman Ali Agha’s Pakistan side, the equation is daunting but clear following England’s recent victory over the Kiwis. To leapfrog New Zealand on Net Run Rate and secure a spot in the final four, Pakistan must win this match by a significant margin.
If they bat first, they generally need to secure a victory by at least 64 runs, whereas a successful chase would likely need to be completed within approximately 13 overs. All eyes will be on Sahibzada Farhan, who has been the standout performer of the tournament and currently sits just 36 runs away from equalling the record for most runs in a single T20 World Cup edition.
Sri Lanka enter this contest having already been eliminated from semifinal contention following successive defeats in the Super 8 stage. However, captain Dasun Shanaka and his team are determined to finish their home campaign with a win for their passionate fans.
