Player Of The Match
PAKISTAN SRI LANKA
FOUR! Dushmantha Chameera to Mohammad Nawaz. Reverse Swing-In length ball, middle stump on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control past deep square leg for 4 runs. Pakistan have managed to post a competitive total on the board after their top order struggled early on. Saim Ayub was dismissed early, while Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam tried to steady the innings with a cautious stand. However, Wanindu Hasaranga's fiery spell turned the game on its head as he claimed three crucial wickets in quick succession. From there, Salman Ali Agha and Hussain Talat took charge, stitching together a brilliant 138-run partnership that revitalized the innings. Salman Ali Agha anchored the effort superbly, staying unbeaten till the end and notching up his second ODI hundred and Mohammad Nawaz with a fine cameo in the end. It's a strong recovery from the hosts, setting up a challenging chase for the visitors. Join us for the run chase after the break.
