Here is the full schedule for the T20I tri-nation series:
Day, Date | Match | Venue |

Monday, 17 November | Pakistan vs Afghanistan | Rawalpindi |
Wednesday, 19 November | Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka | Rawalpindi |
Saturday, 22 November | Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | Lahore |
Sunday, 23 November | Pakistan vs Afghanistan | Lahore |
Tuesday, 25 November | Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka | Lahore |
Thursday, 27 November | Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | Lahore |
Saturday, 29 November | Final | Lahore |
Format of the Competition
The tri-series will be a round-robin format where each side will play against the other twice. The top two teams will then meet in the final on November 29 in Lahore. All of this guarantees a series with plenty of high-impact matches before the final.
The tri-series will take place directly after the UAE T20I Tri-Series (Pakistan vs Afghanistan), which concluded at the beginning of September 2025. Sri Lanka was not part of that series, which makes including Sri Lanka in Pakistan an exciting and new concept. The tri-series format creates balance among the three sides and ensures that there are new conflicts to watch.
This tri-series is going to provide the fans with a festival of T20 cricket in late 2025. To add to that, Pakistan has proven strong home form, Afghanistan has ruthless hitting, and Sri Lanka has tactical experience. Along with great entertainment for the fans, international and regional ties will be strengthened.
