Pakistan boast a clear numerical dominance overall, having won 92 of 156 matches. 59 games went in Sri Lanka’s favour, while one game ended in a tie and four yielded no result.

Their World Cup encounters paint a completely polarised image, with Sri Lanka yet to win against Pakistan after seven matches in the format. Their 2019 fixture was washed out.

In matches played on Indian soil, Pakistan lead Sri Lanka 4-3 after seven games.

Sri Lanka emerged victorious by a slim two-wicket margin in their last meet, in the recently concluded Asia Cup.
