Pakistan Didn’t Lose the Series. They Failed to Win It.
The Pakistan vs Sri Lanka T20 series ended in a 1–1 draw, but this result should feel disappointing for Pakistan. They had the better squad, more power, and early momentum. Sri Lanka didn’t dominate the series; Pakistan allowed it to slip.
Pakistan won the first match with discipline, but even in that win, the batting looked shaky. For reference, check my post

The second match was crucial; Pakistan had a chance to win the series at that point because Pakistan was confident after winning the first match, gained the winning momentum, and Sri Lanka was under pressure. But the match ended in a draw due to rain, and that broke Pakistan's momentum.
Pakistan's major issue, poor decision making under pressure, was shown during the final game on 11 January 2026. Sri Lanka scored 160/6 in a 12-over game, which should never occur without significant bowling blunders. Dasun Shanaka’s quick 34 runs off 9 balls completely changed the match. Pakistan’s bowlers struggled in the last few overs and failed to control the run rate when it mattered most. Pakistan lost the match due to poor management of the death overs.
Pakistan’s chase of 161 was aggressive but confused. Wickets fell regularly, and there was no proper plan.Salman Ali Agha’s 45 off 12 balls was outstanding, but Pakistan should not need miracles to win matches. They finished on 146/8, falling 14 runs short.
The real difference between the two teams was Wanindu Hasaranga. He didn’t just take wickets; he controlled the game. With 5 wickets in the series, he stopped Pakistan whenever they tried to build momentum. His calm bowling under pressure is exactly what Pakistan lacked. He was the clear Player of the Match and Player of the Series.
Conclusion:
Sri Lanka is not the more powerful team, but they played smartly, especially in the last game. They used spin better, adapted faster to conditions, and made fewer mistakes. Pakistan played with talent, Sri Lanka played with awareness.
This series should be a wake-up call for Pakistan. Talent alone is not enough in modern T20 cricket. Without clear plans, better death bowling, and stronger partnerships, Pakistan will keep letting winning positions slip.
The series may be drawn on paper, but in reality, Sri Lanka walked away with confidence, and Pakistan walked away with questions.
That's all for today.
