The women's One Day International (ODI) series between Sri Lanka and Pakistan will conclude with a third match on July 28, 2026 at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in Hambantota, Sri Lanka. After Pakistan won the opening game by five wickets and Sri Lanka leveled the series with an eight‑wicket victory, the final encounter will determine the series winner.

Sri Lanka, captained by Chamari Athapaththu, will rely on the experience of Harshitha Samarawickrama, Nilakshi de Silva and the spin attack led by Malki Madara. Pakistan, led by Fatima Sana, will field seasoned players such as Gull Feroza, Sidra Ameen and Nashra Sandhu. Both sides have a strong head‑to‑head record, with Sri Lanka historically holding the advantage (23 wins to 12) but recent matches showing tighter competition.
