Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Prediction, 2nd ODI – Who will win today’s match between PAK vs SL?

The second ODI of the three-match series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on November 13. The hosts won the series-opening clash by six runs in what turned

out to be a classic ODI fixture.

Salman Ali Agha (105* off 87) and Hussain Talat (62 off 63) forged a 138-run stand to lead Pakistan to a competitive 299/5 in their 50 overs after they lost their first four wickets even before they could reach a three-digit score.

Sri Lanka had gotten off to a positive start with the bat during the chase. Plenty of batters in the top and middle order got starts but did not capitalise. Hasaranga top-scored with 59 off 52, but the tourists lost by six runs in the end.

Like how it was seen in the first ODI, set batters will be expected to find batting relatively easier. The team winning the toss would prefer to bowl first. Spinners might not be that effective under lights but can be expected to have some purchase during the first innings.

PAK vs SL Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter - Salman Ali Agha

Agha has been in fine form in the past four ODI innings. He has scored two half-centuries and one hundred. The middle-order batter can be expected to play yet another substantial knock to help his team out.

Probable Best Bowler - Wanindu Hasaranga

Prior to the first match, Hasaranga picked up eight wickets in six Asia Cup 2025 matches, while maintaining a frugal economy rate of 6.50. While that was a completely different format, Hasaranga can be expected to bowl economicallyin the 50-over format as well.
