Sri Lanka Women will host Pakistan Women in the opening T20I of the Pakistan Women's tour of Sri Lanka 2026 on 31 July at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. Sri Lanka enters the T20I series following a strong comeback after losing the first match by 5 wickets, then chasing 274 in the second ODI, and winning the third ODI by 8 wickets with a clinical display.
Pakistan Women, however, have struggled in the shortest format, experiencing a poor World Cup and exiting in the group stages with only one win. After taking a 1-0 series lead, they failed to secure the series victory, losing the last two ODIs. Now, they aim to improve in the T20I series and begin strongly.
