Pak vs slPakistan won 12 balls first
Pakistan, who suffered defeat in the last match against India, achieved the target of Sri Lanka’s 134 runs (38 not out, 24 balls, three fours, three sixes) and Talat (32 runs, 30 balls, four fours) of the sixth wicket with an unbroken 58 -wicket unwavering partnership for five wickets in 18 overs.
The opening pair of Sahibzada Farhan (24) and Fakhar Zaman (17) got a good start by adding 45 runs to Pakistan to chase the target. Mahish Tishta gave a double blow to Pakistan by dismissing Farhan and Fakhar within three balls in the sixth over. Powerplay had a score of 48/2. After this, in the seventh over, Vanindu Hasranga bowled Saim Ayub (2) and gave a third blow to Pakistan and then LBW, captain Salman Aga (05), took four wickets for 57 runs. Hussain Talat and Mohammad Haris (13) put a stop to the fall of wickets for some time but Chamera broke the partnership by bowling Haris.
Shaheen Shah Afridi’s deadly bowling
Earlier, the Sri Lankan team, which lost the first toss, faced the fire of Shaheen Shah Afridi’s fire. Due to three wickets for Shaheen’s 28 runs, the Sri Lankan team was able to score only 132 runs in the scheduled 20 overs. Apart from Shaheen, Hussain Talat took two wickets for 18 runs and Haris Rauf also spent two hunting while spending 37 runs. Leg spinner Abrar Ahmed also bowled economically and took one wicket for eight runs in four overs.
Weak batting was the reason for Sri Lanka’s defeat
Sri Lanka had to struggle for a good partnership. Kamindu Mendis from the team was the top scorer by scoring 50 runs from two sixes and three fours in 44 balls. He added 43 runs for the seventh wicket with Chamika Karunaratne (17 not out) and brought the team to a respectable score, which was also the biggest partnership of the innings. Apart from Kamindu, only captain Charith Asanka (20) could touch the score of 20 runs.
