Strong Bowling Performance Gives Pakistan Edge

Sri Lanka’s innings saw early setbacks as Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka fell cheaply. Charith Asalanka and Kamindu Mendis tried to stabilize the innings, but regular wickets prevented any big partnerships. Pakistan’s bowlers maintained pressure throughout, not allowing the batting side to build momentum.

Chasing Made Easy by Key Contributions

During the chase, Sahibzada Farhan and Hussain Talat provided brisk starts, while Mohammad Nawaz remained unbeaten with a quick 38 off 24 balls, sealing the win. Wanindu Hasaranga picked up two wickets but lacked support from other bowlers. Pakistan sealed the victory in 18 overs, giving them a convincing win and boosting their confidence in the tournament.
