The side has a strong batting lineup, which will give them an edge. The Sri Lankans have struggled at Abu Dhabi over the years, and it will be interesting to see if they can overcome the jinx and win this game.

Salman Agha and his team will be under pressure heading into this game. They lost to India in the last game by 6 wickets despite a strong show with the bat. The bowling attack struggled to contain the Indians and threw away the game. A loss here would end all their hopes of reaching the final, and Agha expects to see a strong comeback from his players to win and move up on the points table.
Sahibzada Farhan batted well in the last game, and he will look to deliver a confident start with Fakhar Zaman. Saim Ayub finally got some runs at the top, and he will look to build partnerships with Hussain Talat and Mohammad Nawaz in the middle order. The team has strong hitters and expects quick runs from Salman Agha, Mohammad Harris, Mohammad Shaheen Afridi, and Faheem Ashraf.
The bowling attack struggled in the last game against the Indians during the power play. They need Shaheen Afridi to find his rhythm and strike early in the game with Saim Ayub. Haris Rauf did well in the last game, and he must trouble the Sri Lankan batters in the middle overs with Abrar Ahmed. Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, and Agha will look to bowl tight spells and guide the team to victory.
Fakhar Zaman Total Runs Over 22.5 1.85
Fakhar Zaman has scored a total of 105 runs in four matches in this Asia Cup so far. He has struggled to get going after making quick starts, and aside from one fifty-plus score, he has not made any substantial contributions. However, in this must-win match, we predict that he will fire on all cylinders and score over 22 runs.

It is a must-win game for Charith Asalanka's team. The Sri Lankan skipper will be upset with the 4-wicket loss against Bangladesh in the last game. They struggled with the scoring rate on a good batting surface and struggled with the ball due to a lack of depth. It will be a tough game against the Pakistanis, and it will be interesting to see how the team fares in the game.
Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka are in good form, and they will look to deliver an electrifying start in this game. The middle order let the team down in the last game and the side expects a strong performance from Kamil Mishara, Dasun Shanaka, and Kusal Perera. Charith Asalanka, Kamindu Mendis, and Wanindu Hasaranga must add quick runs in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack didn't trouble the Bangladeshis in the last game. Dushmantha Chameera and Nuwan Thushara need to make early inroads to put the team in a strong position. Dunith Wellalage and Wanindu Hasaranga must use the conditions to their advantage in the middle overs. The side will also need Dasun Shanaka and Kamindu Mendis to do well in the middle overs.
Kusal Mendis Total Runs Over 21.5 1.85
Kusal Mendis is having a great Asia Cup so far, scoring 122 runs in 4 matches at an average of 40.67. He has scores of 3, 11, 74*, and 34. After a slow start, he has performed well in the last two matches. In two T20Is at Zayed International Stadium, he has scored 77 runs. We predict he will perform well in this fixture and score over 21 runs.

There would be clear skies over Abu Dhabi. The pitch has become easier to bat on as the ball comes onto the bat nicely. Bowlers are having a tough time here. The average first-innings score in the last 12 months is 185 runs, and the side that bats first would like to have 200 on the board.

Average Turn
Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, has large boundaries, but the outfield is fast, allowing batsmen to play their strokes. Fast bowlers often find it challenging to bowl on this surface, but spinners have performed well here, as they can turn the ball effectively on this surface.
Total Match Score Over 309.5 1.85
The average total score in the last two T20I matches at Zayed International Stadium is 348 runs. The pitch has been much better for batting in the last two games. As this is a must-win game for both teams, we expect a competitive match and predict the total score to be over 309 runs.
Sri Lanka to win the coin toss 1.90
We back Sri Lanka to win the coin toss in the 3rd match of the super four stage of Asia Cup 2025 against Pakistan at Dubai International Stadium.
Teams chasing the score have won 13 out of the last 20 games at this venue. The pitch has been good to bat on, and the sides enjoyed chasing. Thus, the two skippers at the toss would not have doubts about bowling first.
Sri Lanka will battle against history in this game. The side has lost the last five times they have played at this venue. The middle order is struggling, and the team expects them to deliver a strong show in this contest. The Pakistanis have a strong batting lineup, and they have enjoyed playing at Abu Dhabi. It will be a close game, but the Pakistanis will start as favorites in this contest.
