Tournament, format, dates, and venue
The tournament features T20 International matches with a double round-robin format where each team plays two matches against the others before the top two teams advance to the final. All matches during the tournament will take place at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium according to the PCB announcement.
Participants and the result of the first match
The hosts Pakistan will compete against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in this tournament. The visiting team slot became available after Afghanistan’s withdrawal so Zimbabwe took their place. The reports show Pakistan’s Salman Ali Agha will captain their team while Zimbabwe will be led by Sikandar Raza and Sri Lanka by Dasun Shanaka according to different sources. The teams consist of experienced international players who play alongside reserve players who will represent Pakistan at the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Pakistan defeated Zimbabwe by five wickets in their first match. The Zimbabwe team scored 147/8 before Pakistan reached 151/5 in 19.2 overs. Fakhar Zaman led Pakistan to victory while Mohammad Nawaz received Player-of-the-Match honors because of his dual impact with both bat and ball during the middle overs. The team secured their first points of the series through a close and tense victory in the opening match.
Predictions & popular betting markets
The brief nature of T20 competitions makes power-hitting and multi-skilled all-rounders the most valuable players. The most popular betting options include match winner, top batter, top bowler and total runs (over/under) and player-prop (most sixes and highest score). The Linebet app provides pre-match and in-play markets for short T20s but users should select bowlers who operate during the middle overs of Rawalpindi matches. Players should maintain small bet amounts.
