With all three matches scheduled at the same venue, cricket fans can expect thrilling action and a tightly fought series between two top T20 sides. The Lahore surface is traditionally batting-friendly, especially in the first innings, but evening dew could influence making chasing a preferred option.
Pakistan are likely to rely on their experienced core, with players such as Babar Azam anchoring the innings at the top, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, who is among the best T20 bowlers, will lead the bowling attack. Both sides will be looking to find the right balance to identify the best playing combination for the T20 World Cup, which will begin on February 7, 2026, in India and Sri Lanka.
