Pinamonti broke the deadlock for the hosts before Pavoletti scored 6 minutes from time to ensure a share of the spoils.
This leaves Cagliari with a sole win from their last 5 matches and reeling in the relegation zone, 18th place with 21 points.
A win takes them out of the dreaded zone while a loss puts them in a bigger hole.
On the other hand, Napoli drew 1-1 against Barcelona in their mid-week Europa League 1st leg clash at Camp Nou.
Zielinski and Torres scored for either side to leave the tie in a tantalizingly poised state.
In their previous Serie A clash, Napoli drew Inter 1-1 at home which took them to 3rd in the table with 53 points.
A win pushes them to the top of the table given their strong goal difference over the other Milan counterparts.
Hence, it is all in favour for Napoli to get to the summit and stake claim in the title race.
Both sides last met in September, where Napoli won 2-0 at home through efforts from Osimhen and Insigne.
