Pakistan captain Salman Agha said the pitch looks good and will not change much during the game. "We will bowl first. Looks a good wicket, don't think it will change much. I think we started well (against India), but then the tempo shifted.. They are a good side, we’re a good side. We don’t think about the past, just need to focus on today. We have an unchanged side," he said during the toss.
Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka said the pitch looks good and batting first would have been fine. "I would have done the same thing. It looks a good pitch, don't mind batting first. We are playing good cricket, we need to improve in a few areas. Batting and bowling at the death. There are two changes. Theekshana and Karunaratne are in. We thought that we might need one extra bowler, that's why we have brought in a bowler who can bat," Asalanka said.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 Match 3 Weather and Pitch Report 0f Sheikh Zayed Stadium - Abu Dhabi
The weather is expected to be clear. No rain is forecast during the match. The maximum temperature is predicted to reach 38°C, and the minimum will be around 31°C.
The pitch at Sheikh Zayed Stadium is expected to be balanced. It should offer support to both batters and bowlers. The surface is not likely to favour one skill over another, which could make the contest closely fought. Dew might come into play in the second innings. Teams that bat first should aim to score at least 180-190 runs. Teams bowling first should try to restrict the opposition to 160-170 runs to improve their chances of winning.
Fast bowlers can make the most of any assistance on the pitch by hitting the right areas and looking for swing when the ball is new. Spinners will play a key role in the middle overs of both innings. Slow bowlers will hope for early wickets and minimal impact from dew.
