⚠️ Make or break for Babar, Fakhar in ODIs | #PakvSL | #TriSeries

Welcome to another exciting episode of THE GRC SHOW! Today, Nadeem Khan and Abdul Majid Bhatti provide a comprehensive preview of the highly anticipated ODI Tri-Series final between Pakistan and Sri Lanka at Gaddafi Stadium on Saturday afternoon. This final is the last chance for Pakistan to produce a true champion-level performance and secure their first multi-team series victory on home soil in five attempts, dating back to the 1994 tri-series. While Pakistan won three matches to reach the final, their victories have relied heavily on individual brilliance rather than a collective team effort. Salman Ali Agha (158 series runs) and Arafat Minhas (88 runs and 9 wickets) have provided crucial stability, while Shaheen Shah Afridi leads the bowling attack with 8 wickets. However, all eyes will be on the struggling top order. Fakhar Zaman has managed a dismal 31 runs across four matches, and Babar Azam has aggregated just 118 runs. Both senior batters are under enormous pressure, and another failure in this final could force selectors to make extreme decisions ahead of the 2027 World Cup preparations. Sri Lanka enters the final looking incredibly dangerous, boasting superior batting strength and depth throughout the tournament. Pavan Rathnayake has been a revelation on this tour, dominating bowlers to amass 350 runs and two centuries in just four matches. He is backed by Avishka Fernando (166 runs) and captain Kusal Mendis, who is coming off an 89-run knock against England. With the ball, Dilshan Madushanka—who demolished Pakistan with 5/34 on Tuesday—sits as the joint-second leading wicket-taker alongside Shaheen Afridi. A full house is expected in Lahore as both teams start with a clean slate to battle for the trophy. 📺 Watch Live / Catch up here:    / @grassrootscric   Follow Us: Facebook:   / grassrootscricket   Twitter/X:   / grassrootscric   Instagram:   / grassrootscric   #PakvSL #TriSeries #TheGRCShow #NadeemKhan #MajidBhatti #BabarAzam #FakharZaman #ShaheenAfridi #PavanRathnayake #DilshanMadushanka #GaddafiStadium #PakistanCricket #SriLankaCricket #CricketPreview #GrassrootsCricket #CricketAnalysis #ODICricket
