Pitch Report
Gaddafi Stadium has two recent completed ODIs in this tournament. Pakistan chased England’s score by one wicket on 25 October. Sri Lanka chased Pakistan’s 110 by eight wickets on 27 October.
The current sample is only two matches. No reliable average is available from it. A wider recent sample has five completed men’s ODIs, but it is descriptive only. The PAK vs ENG Lahore guide gives another same-series venue reference.
The two latest games support a chase-first fantasy view. Still, the pitch can change. Top-order batters, new-ball bowlers, and wicket-taking spinners remain useful conditional picks. No toss, weather, or dew claim is confirmed.

Team 5: Pakistan Top-Order Response

WK: Saad Baig, Kusal Mendis
BAT: Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Hasan Nawaz, Pavan Rathnayake

Captain And Vice-Captain Choices
Salman Ali Agha: He made 107 from 90 balls in the first meeting. He is a strong captain idea if he is named and keeps an all-round role.
Kamindu Mendis: He scored 44 in the first match and 62* in the latest game. His batting form makes him a useful captain or vice-captain choice if selected.
Dilshan Madushanka: His 5/34 changed the latest Lahore match. He is a high-upside choice if the pitch offers movement and he is confirmed.
Shaheen Shah Afridi: He took 3/55 in the first meeting. He can suit a bowling-led card if he starts and bowls with the new ball.
These are conditional editorial choices. Captain and vice-captain points depend on the live fantasy app rules. Repair the team after the toss. Remove any non-starter. Recheck roles and credits. Keep the final card within the app rules.
Player Battles
Babar Azam Against Dilshan Madushanka
Babar scored 45 in the first meeting and 29 in Lahore. Madushanka took 5/34 last time. This is a pressure matchup if both players start.
Salman Ali Agha Against Maheesh Theekshana
Salman’s 107 came in the first match. Theekshana can test him with spin in the middle overs. This battle matters if the pitch grips.
Kamindu Mendis Against Shaheen Shah Afridi
Kamindu made 62* in the latest game. Shaheen took 3/55 in the first match. Early wickets could shape this contest.
These are role-based matchups. No direct ball-by-ball head-to-head claim is made.
Key Players
- Salman Ali Agha: 107 from 90 balls in the first meeting. Risk: final XI and role are not confirmed.
- Kamindu Mendis: 62* in the latest match. Risk: he may face a fresh-ball test if batting early.
- Dilshan Madushanka: 5/34 in Lahore. Risk: his value depends on early movement.
- Shaheen Shah Afridi: 3/55 in the first match. Risk: the pitch may not aid pace.
- Pavan Rathnayake: He made 79 in the first meeting. Risk: he needs a confirmed top-order place.
Winner Prediction
The editorial lean is slightly toward Pakistan because the final is in Lahore and the current H2H is level. Sri Lanka won the latest match with a strong chase, so the gap is small.
This is not a guarantee. The lean can change after the toss, pitch view, and confirmed XI.
