Pakistan batters have scored 60 centuries here, Sri Lanka batters 50. The match-by-match list is above, refreshed whenever these two play again. Updated 10 September, 2026.
They first met in March 1982, Pakistan winning by 204 runs, and the fixture settled into high scoring and a great many draws - nine Tests in the 1980s and three without a result, a proportion that only rose from there. Pakistan hold the overall lead, though Sri Lanka won more Tests than they did in the 2010s.
Their highest-scoring match was at the National Stadium in February 2009, when Pakistan made 765 for 6 declared - their biggest total in any Test, Younis Khan scoring 313 - and Sri Lanka replied with 644 for 7. The match was drawn and both totals are still the best in the fixture.
That series ended in circumstances that changed cricket in Pakistan for a decade. On the third morning of the second Test at Lahore, on 3 March 2009, the Sri Lanka team bus was attacked on its way to the Gaddafi Stadium. Six police officers and two civilians were killed and several players were injured. The Test was abandoned, the tour cancelled, and no full member played a Test in Pakistan for the next ten years.
Test cricket between the two resumed in Pakistan in December 2019, when Sri Lanka became the first side to tour for a series after the attack. Pakistan won it 1-0 and took the most recent one in Sri Lanka in July 2023, sealing it with a win by an innings and 222 runs at Colombo.
