Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No injuries in the Pakistan team were reported at the time of writing. The selectors are likely to keep the same lineup from the last game.
Key Players
Pakistan will look to Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam to take the team off to a solid start. Shoaib Malik has also been making handy contributions in the middle order. He scored 42 not-out the other night and there will be high expectations from him as well. Usman Khan was again impressive with his pace bowling picking up a couple of wickets while Hasan Ali too notched up three scalps. Both these bowlers will be the key for Pakistan with the new ball while Shadab Khan will be the go-to option when it comes to spin.
Recent Form
Pakistan have now won six out of the eight T20 internationals they have played this year. They did a brilliant job with the ball in the last game restricting Sri Lanka to a paltry 102 before making short work of the target.

Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The Sri Lankan team seems to be free from all injury concerns at the moment with all their players in good physical condition. No changes are expected in their lineup for this upcoming fixture.
Key Players
The onus will be on Dilshan Munaweera and Danushka Gunathilaka to score the big runs for Sri Lanka and set up a nice platform for the batsmen down the order. Thisara Perera is known for his hard-hitting skills and he has the ability to turn the game around in a flash. Vikum Sanjaya was the pick of the bowlers in the first game with figures of 2-20 from four overs and the team will back him to take early wickets in this match. Seekkuge Prasanna was economical and Sri Lanka will want the legspinner to keep up the good work.
Recent Form
Sri Lanka had faced just one defeat in their first six T20 internationals this year but now they have only one win in their next five matches. Injury to key players and lack of experience in the side are the major factors that have contributed to their recent downslide.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Head-to-Head
Pakistan have now beaten Sri Lanka in their previous four T20I encounters. They have also beaten the Lankans in both the matches they have played against them at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20 Betting Odds
Pakistan enjoyed yet another emphatic victory over Sri Lanka in white-ball cricket and their confidence seems to be growing with every game. The hosts are understandably the heavy favorites amongst the bookmakers to win the second T20 international with very short odds of 1.28 on 1xbet and 1.25 on Bet365. Sri Lanka's batting woes don't seem to end anytime soon and so they continue to be the big underdogs at a high price of 4.4 on Betfair and 4 on Bet365.
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20 Prediction
The lack of quality and experience in the Sri Lankan team was once again exposed by Pakistan. Be it with the bat or with the ball, the visitors have not been able to push the hosts since the start of the one-day series. So far, it has been all too easy for Sarfraz Ahmed and Co. and not much improvement can be expected from Sri Lanka who are missing the services of several mainstream members. Pakistan are playing to their potential which is one of the reasons why we predict them to emerge victorious in this match.
Final Verdict: Back Pakistan to beat Sri Lanka in the second T20I at 1.28 with 1xbet and 1.25 with Bet365.
