The Tri-Series in Rawalpindi is set for a high-stakes clash today on Wednesday, 25th November 2025, as Sri Lanka take on Zimbabwe at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The game begins at 06:00 PM local time, with both sides facing contrasting scenarios. For Sri Lanka, it’s a do-or-die battle — defeat here would end their hopes of reaching the final. Pathum Nissanka has carried their batting, while Wanindu Hasaranga’s leg-spin has been the standout in their bowling attack.

Zimbabwe, meanwhile, enter the contest brimming with confidence after their recent victory over Sri Lanka. A win today would seal their spot in the final against Pakistan. Brian Bennett has shouldered the batting responsibility almost singlehandedly, and the team will be eager for more support around him. With Richard Ngarava and Brad Evans in strong bowling form, Zimbabwe will look to ride their momentum into this decisive fixture.
