Sri Lanka vs England Live Today in Lahore as Pakistan's 110 All Out Puts Final on Notice

Sri Lanka and England meet today, Thursday, October 29, at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore in the sixth match of the ODI tri-series, with the result shaping Saturday's final against hosts Pakistan. England, still without a win in the series, are playing for pride and a consolation victory, while Sri Lanka are chasing the win that would confirm their place in the decider.
Pakistan have already booked their spot in Saturday's final, but their preparations took a heavy blow when they were bowled out for just 110 by Sri Lanka in their last outing. The collapse has put the middle order firmly on notice: Babar Azam has managed only 118 runs in four matches, Fakhar Zaman 16 in three, and Saim Ayub 111 in five, leaving serious questions about batting depth before the final. Squad changes have followed, with Maaz Sadaqat added and Naseem Shah dealing with a finger injury whose seriousness has not been confirmed.
Saturday's final in Lahore now turns on whether Pakistan's batters can restore faith quickly against the attack that just bowled them out cheaply. Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi had already flagged top-order collapses as a concern, and the team has three days to fix them. For England and Sri Lanka today, the prize is different but just as clear: momentum, a final berth, and the chance to spoil — or seal — the weekend's big occasion.
