The ODI cricket will take centre stage as Sri Lanka travels to Pakistan for a 3-match ODI series. Pakistan and South Africa played a three-match T20I and ODI series recently. The hosts scored a series win in the ODI format by 2-1. They started the series with a win but lost the 2nd match. However, the team bounced back well in the 3rd ODI to clinch the series.

 The Sri Lankan cricket team will return to action after the Asia Cup 2025. For more than a month, they took a break, and their most recent ODI match was against Zimbabwe in August. Zimbabwe hosted Sri Lanka for a 2-match ODI series, and they won the series 2-0.
