Sri Lanka Faces Pakistan in 2nd T20I at Dambulla

The second T20 International of the three-match series between the visiting Pakistan team and Sri Lanka is scheduled to take place today, January 9, 2026, at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium. The match will begin at 7:00 PM local time.

Pakistan currently leads the series 1-0 after a convincing 6-wicket victory in the opening match on January 7th. A win for Pakistan today would secure them the series trophy with one game still remaining. For the hosts, this is a "must-win" clash to keep the series alive.

Dasun Shanaka will lead the Sri Lankan side, while Salman Ali Agha continues as the captain for Pakistan. Both teams are using this series as crucial preparation for the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.
