| First ball | 6:00 pm PKT |
| Venue | Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium |

A 6:00 pm start means most of the game is under lights. Plan to reach the gates well before the 5:30 pm toss.
Tickets cost Rs 300 to Rs 25,000, and some enclosures are nearly full
The PCB ticket website listed 11 enclosures for Sunday when we checked at about 10:20 pm on Friday. The cheapest seats cost Rs 300 in the Miran Bakhsh and Sohail Tanveer enclosures. Each buyer can get at most five tickets per CNIC, passport or mobile number.
| Enclosure | Price | Seats left (Fri 10:20 pm) |
|---|---|---|
| Miran Bakhsh | Rs 300 | 601 |
| Sohail Tanveer | Rs 300 | 842 |
| Shoaib Akhtar | Rs 500 | 1,400 |
| Yasir Arafat | Rs 500 | 1,341 |
| Javed Akhtar | Rs 700 | 150 |
| Azhar Mehmood | Rs 700 | 159 |
| Imran Khan | Rs 1,000 | 83 |
| Javed Miandad | Rs 1,000 | 243 |
| VIP Gallery Third Floor East | Rs 1,500 | 123 |
| Box 1 (Azhar Mehmood) | Rs 15,000 | 18 |
| Platinum Box Third Floor West | Rs 25,000 | 40 |
The seat counts change every minute, so treat them as a snapshot. The Rs 500 stands had the most room. The Imran Khan enclosure, at Rs 1,000, had only 83 seats left,, so it may sell out first.
Here is how to buy a ticket for Sunday:
- Open pcb.tcs.com.pk, the official PCB ticket website run by TCS.

The PCB also sells tickets at nine designated TCS Express Centres in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The PCB ticket prices for the T20Is include the cheaper Rs 200 seats for Tuesday's 3rd match, and the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium entry rules list the items you cannot take in.
PMD expects mainly dry weather on Sunday
PMD's weekly outlook, read on Friday 9 October, expects mainly dry weather in most of Pakistan on Sunday 11 October. It lists isolated rain in central and south Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, Kashmir and northeast Balochistan, but not the Pothohar region around Rawalpindi.
Saturday looks less settled. PMD expects isolated rain, wind or thunderstorms in Islamabad and upper Punjab on 10 October, and hail is possible in a few places. A wet Saturday night could mean a damp outfield, so check the official PMD forecast again on Sunday afternoon before you leave.
Faisal Khan Aafreedi and Nasir Hussain will umpire the 2nd T20I
The PCB named Faisal Khan Aafreedi and Nasir Hussain as on-field umpires for the 2nd T20I on 29 September. Rashid Riaz Waqar is the third umpire and Tariq Rasheed the fourth umpire.
The same release named Ali Naqvi as match referee for all three T20Is. Friday's PCB scorecard, though, listed Jeff Crowe, who was named for the later ODI tri-series. The PCB has not explained the difference, so we report both.
Pakistan win the series if they win on Sunday
Pakistan lead 1-0, so a second win on Sunday gives them the three-match series with a game to spare. Sri Lanka must win to take the series to a decider on Tuesday. Their only bilateral T20I series win over Pakistan came in Lahore in 2019, 3-0, the PCB says.
Pakistan's batting looked strong on Friday until a late slide. Captain Sahibzada Farhan made 89 and Maaz Sadaqat 50, then five wickets fell for 34 runs. The bowlers also gave away 18 wides. Those are the two things to watch on Sunday.
Four players from the Pakistan T20I squad for the Sri Lanka series did not play on Friday: Abdul Samad, Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Salman Mirza and Sufiyan Moqim. The PCB has not said whether it will change the side. Sri Lanka's top scorer on Friday was Lahiru Udara with 91.
If you are watching at home, PTV Sports broadcasts the match in Pakistan, and the PCB Live app, Tapmad and Tamasha stream it, the PCB said on 8 October. The PTV Sports and PCB Live app details cover the costs.
