Is Sri Lanka vs. Pakistan T20 Cricket World Cup Match on TV?

As the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup rapidly races toward the semifinal stage, starting on March 4, Pakistan must not only win its match against regional rivals Sri Lanka on Saturday, it must win convincingly. With Sri Lanka eliminated, the 50th match of the 2026 tournament still carries a real, if remote, chance for Pakistan — who have not won a T20 World Cup since 2009 — to grab a spot in the final four.

For fans wondering whether the Sri Lanka vs. Pakistan T20 Cricket World Cup match is on TV, full channel and live stream details are below.

If the Men in Green lose to Sri Lanka, who will be playing solely for pride at this point, they go home empty-handed. To advance, Pakistan faces a significant challenge. With England’s stunning comeback win over New Zealand by four wickets with three balls left to bowl, a door opened at least a crack for Pakistan.

How can they do it? The Green Shirts will need to finish the Super Eights stage with a superior net run rate to the Black Caps. That is, they need a better difference between runs allowed per over — or economy rate — and runs scored.

New Zealand finished with an impressive 1.390 net run rate. To top that, Pakistan, according to correspondent Danyal Rasool of ESPNcricinfo, must defeat Sri Lanka by at least 65 runs, or chase down any target set by the Lions within a maximum of 13.1 overs.

So, the stage is set for a high-stakes T20 World Cup clash between Sri Lanka and Pakistan. The thrill of playing spoiler against Pakistan will have to be enough for Sri Lanka fans.
