Just a few weeks back, Pakistan again made it to the headlines for another attack on its territory. After a bomb blast in Islamabad shook the city, Sri Lankan cricketers who were playing at Rawalpindi were terrified by mishappenings.
Sri Lankan players were shaken by the shockwaves of the massive bomb blast that took place in Islamabad, and during that time, many cricketers wanted to return to their nation since they were not convinced by any security measures adopted by the PCB.
Though many stayed back, Sri Lankan captain Charith Asalanka decided to return to his country because he was also sick. It was reported that he would be sacked as the skipper after returning back home, but the SLC selection committee chief Upul Tharanga has suggested otherwise.

— DANUSHKA ARAVINDA (@DanuskaAravinda) November 26, 2025Can the former Asia Cup-winning captain lead Sri Lanka to the Tri-series finals?
Zimbabwe were roped in as the third side, after Afghanistan withdrew from the series following a series of attacks on their territory that killed innocent civilians as well as cricketers from the ACB.
Sri Lanka bounced back only after 3 games, when they had already lost 2 games, and losing the third would mean exit. Pathum Nissanka's 98 led the way as Sri Lanka beat Zimbabwe in the second encounter between the two sides.
None other than Pathum Nissanka has crossed even the 50-run mark after 3 games in the series
Sri Lanka's batting performance in this T20I tri-series has been horrifying. The only batter who makes it to the top 10 list of run-getters in the series is Pathum Nissanka, and that too after his 98* in the last game. He is now placed 5th with an overall 115 runs.
Pathum Nissanka averages 57.50 in the series, while all other Sri Lankan batters average below 20 in the series. Wanindu Hasaranga has been the best bowler on show for Sri Lanka with 5 wickets and an economy below 7.
