Pakistan won that series 1-0 under captain Azhar Ali. The opening match in Rawalpindi ended in a draw before Pakistan secured victory in the second Test in Karachi.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka have faced each other in 59 Test matches. Pakistan have won 23, Sri Lanka have claimed 17 victories, while 19 encounters have ended in draws.
The upcoming Rawalpindi fixture will provide both teams with an opportunity to strengthen their position in the World Test Championship and add another chapter to their long-running Test rivalry.
