T20 Tri-Series: Latest News, Scores and What to Watch

If you love fast‑paced cricket, the T20 tri‑series is where the action lives. Three teams face off in quick, high‑energy matches, and every game can swing a tournament. Below you’ll find the most useful updates – from squad announcements to recent results – plus tips on how to catch every boundary.

Current Tri‑Series in the Spotlight

Right now the big talk is the Sri Lanka squad for the Zimbabwe T20 series, a key warm‑up before the Asia Cup. Sri Lanka trimmed their 17‑man list, dropping Dinesh Chandimal and adding Nuwanidu Fernando. The biggest question mark is Wanindu Hasaranga’s fitness – he’s missing but could return for the Asia Cup, which starts on September 9 in the UAE.

On the opposite side of the globe, West Indies finally ended an eight‑year losing streak against Pakistan with a nail‑biter in Lauderhill. The game came down to the final ball, and the Caribbean side sneaked a two‑wicket win. That momentum shift gives them a confidence boost before the next three‑match T20 series.

What the Results Mean for Rankings

Every win in a tri‑series adds points to the ICC T20 rankings, and both Sri Lanka and West Indies are looking to climb. Sri Lanka’s fresh squad aims to shuffle the rankings ahead of the Asia Cup, while West Indies’ surprise victory over Pakistan could move them up a few spots and tighten the race for World Cup qualification.

Fans should watch the net‑run rate as well – in a three‑team format, a big win can outweigh a single loss. Teams often ramp up batting power in the second game to boost that metric, so expect aggressive chases and explosive overs.

Here’s a quick cheat‑sheet to keep you on track:

  • Check the official ICC calendar for exact match dates and venues.
  • Follow live scores on the PBC News app or any major sports site.
  • Watch the games on Sony Sports Network or stream via SonyLIV for Indian viewers.
  • Keep an eye on player injuries – they can reshuffle line‑ups fast.
  • Remember the time zones – a match in Zimbabwe may start early morning in India.

For those who love the stats, the top performers so far include Sri Lanka’s emerging pacer Nuwanidu Fernando, who impressed with a clean‑bowling spell, and West Indies’ all‑rounder who finished the match with a crucial two‑run finish. These players could become key figures in the upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup qualifiers.
