Sri Lanka defeated Pakistan by 14 runs in a rain-affected third T20I, leveling the three-match series 1-1. Wanindu Hasaranga was instrumental, taking four wickets and earning Player of the Match and Series honors. Sri Lanka posted 160 in their 12-over innings, and despite a challenging chase, Pakistan was restricted to 146-8. This match served as a warm-up for the T20 World Cup, with Pakistan playing all matches in Sri Lanka due to political tensions with India.
