After six entertaining matches in the round-robin stage, which saw each team face the other twice, it’s hosts Pakistan and Sri Lanka who will meet in the final of the England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka ODI Tri-Series 2026 on October 31. Both sides have now beaten each other once in the tournament, making this a fitting matchup to decide the title.
Pakistan secured their place in the final with three consecutive victories at the start of the tournament. They’ve impressed with their bowling, as is evident from Arafat Minhas and Shaheen Shah Afridi leading the tournament’s wicket-taking charts. They only suffered a setback in their final match, losing to Sri Lanka by eight wickets after being bowled out for just 110.
Sri Lanka, meanwhile, won two of their four matches to book their place in the final. They defeated both Pakistan and England once and have been impressive with both bat and ball. The likes of Dilshan Madushanka, Asitha Fernando, Pavan Rathnayake and Avishka Fernando have been among their standout performers. Their most recent win over Pakistan will also give them a psychological edge heading into the final.
The tournament has delivered some thrilling cricket, with last-ball run chases and final-wicket partnerships that have at times defied belief. We’ll be hoping for a similar game when Pakistan and Sri Lanka meet in the final.
