Sri Lanka enters the series under the returning leadership of Dasun Shanaka, who has been reinstated as the T20I captain. The squad features a balanced mix of experience and form, with Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis expected to lead the batting charge. The bowling department remains anchored by the spin duo of Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana.

Pakistan, led by Salman Ali Agha, has arrived with a revamped squad. Several senior players, including Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi, are absent due to ongoing commitments in the Big Bash League or injury management. This has opened doors for fresh talent and the return of all-rounder Shadab Khan, who is expected to play a pivotal role in the middle overs.
