Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, 2nd ODI, Sri Lanka tour of Pakistan 2025 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Naseem Shah to Pramod, FOUR, Madushan ends the innings with a boundary. 18 from the last over. Naseem misses his yorker and Madushan manages to get under the full toss, swings it over mid-wicket and there's no protection in the deep

Naseem Shah to Hasaranga, FOUR, Hasaranga has taken Sri Lanka past 280. Naseem goes short and into the wicket, Hasaranga stays leg-side and gets under it, ramps it over short third and collects back to back fours

Naseem Shah to Hasaranga, FOUR, whoa! That's a top shot. Nothing wrong with the delivery. Naseem thinks he's nailed the yorker, he did as well, the ball was heading for the base of off-stump, but Hasaranga crouches low, opens the bat face and jams it fine of short third

Naseem Shah to Hasaranga, 2 runs, dropped! Babar has put down a sitter. Slower short of length delivery, Hasaranga makes room and lofts it down the ground. No power or distance and the ball goes at a comfortable level to long-on. Babar gets under it and shells a regulation catch

Naseem Shah to Hasaranga, FOUR, lovely shot! Full toss around off, Hasaranga stays leg-side and creams the drive through extra cover. It was the attempted yorker by Naseem and it didn't come off. Much needed boundary for Sri Lanka..

Mohammad Wasim to Pramod, leg byes, 1 run, strays onto leg, Madushan misses the flick and the ball rolls off the pad. Hasaranga scampers across gingerly. He's not running swiftly and that is a problem for Sri Lanka

Haris Rauf to Pramod, FOUR, streaky! Rauf almost had another. On a length and slanting in, Madushan is not sure whether to leave or play, he's late in lifting his bat and the inside edge almost brushed the off-stump before racing away to fine leg

Haris Rauf to Chameera, out Lbw!! That's a tough one for Chameera. Yes, he did stay rooted to the crease and miss the good length ball angling in, but this decision could have gone either way. The impact was on leg-stump and ball-tracking showed it to be just clipping leg. Enough for the onfield call to stay and Sri Lanka have lost 3 wickets in 12 balls. Chameera lbw b Haris Rauf 0(1)

Mohammad Wasim to Janith Liyanage, out Caught by Nawaz!! Wickets in successive overs. Both set batters gone. Sri Lanka in trouble now of falling well short of a competitive total. Short and banged into the surface, Liyanage takes it on and does not middle the pull, might have come off the toe-end and a simple catch for Nawaz at mid-wicket. A good knock but Sri Lanka needed him to stay till the end. Janith Liyanage c Nawaz b Mohammad Wasim 54(63) [4s-2 6s-1]

Haris Rauf to Kamindu Mendis, out Caught by Saim Ayub!! The partnership is broken. Big wicket from Rauf. These two were motoring along and Pakistan needed to break the stand if they were to restrict them to under 300. Good length ball, right in the slot and Mendis heaves it over backward square leg, not quite off the middle and Ayub runs around the boundary rope to take a good catch. Not a wicket-taking delivery but Rauf has this knack of picking wickets and he's provided Pakistan with a massive one. Kamindu Mendis c Saim Ayub b Haris Rauf 44(38) [4s-4 6s-2]

Nawaz to Kamindu Mendis, SIX, more runs! This was way too short on leg, Kamindu Mendis goes deep back in the crease and pulls it over deep square leg for a towering six

Nawaz to Janith Liyanage, 1 run, Janith Liyanage brings up his 7th fifty! Knocks the short ball to long-on and gets there. Raises his bat to acknowledge the spectators and his teammates in the dugout

Nawaz to Janith Liyanage, FOUR, Nawaz goes short and Janith Liyanage goes deep back in the crease to play it. Pulls it towards deep mid-wicket uppishly and manages to beat the fielder sprinting across near the boundary

Abrar Ahmed to Kamindu Mendis, FOUR, short and punished! A loose delivery on leg, Kamindu Mendis pulls it away to the deep backward square leg fence

Mohammad Wasim to Kamindu Mendis, 1 run, goes for a pull, mistimes this through square leg. 200 up for Sri Lanka after 38 overs..

Naseem Shah to Kamindu Mendis, FOUR, Kamindu Mendis dealing in boundaries. Picks the length early and pulls this short ball away to the deep mid-wicket fence. Proving to be a crucial partnership

Mohammad Wasim to Kamindu Mendis, FOUR, throws his hands at this slightly wide ball, ends up getting an outside edge through the empty slip cordon and that's a boundary more for Kamindu Mendis

Haris Rauf to Kamindu Mendis, SIX, oh excellent shot! This was on the shorter side and Kamindu Mendis pulls it over deep mid-wicket for a well-struck maximum. All the way for a 77m six. He has played a couple of fine shots so far

Naseem Shah to Kamindu Mendis, FOUR, 139.5kph, pitched up by the bowler around middle and leg, Kamindu Mendis stands tall and thumps it over mid-on. Almost goes the distance

Haris Rauf to Samarawickrama, out Bowled!! Haris Rauf gets the set batter. How often do we see him doing this? Back of a length delivery from over the wicket and it keeps low and skids along the deck. Samarawickrama gets beaten due to the lack of bounce while attempting the pull shot. The stumps have been rattled and Samarawickrama looks surprised. He didn't expect this to keep so low. Was a good partnership for the 5th wicket as it somewhat steadied the ship. Samarawickrama b Haris Rauf 42(52) [4s-3 6s-1]

Saim Ayub to Samarawickrama, SIX, Samarawickrama looking in sublime touch. He goes down on his knee and brings out the sweep. Connects this to perfection as the ball sails over the deep backward square leg fence

Saim Ayub to Samarawickrama, 2 runs, full toss on the pads, Samarawickrama sweeps it towards deep backward square leg where Wasim cuts it down

Haris Rauf to Janith Liyanage, FOUR, runs coming thick and fast! This was fraction short outside off and Janith Liyanage played a lovely late cut. Beats the fielder at third man and the partnership is now inching closer to the 50-run mark

Nawaz to Samarawickrama, leg byes, FOUR, quite an expensive over by Nawaz. This was fired on leg, Samarawickrama goes for a sweep and the ball flicks his pads on its way to the fine leg boundary. The fielder in the deep puts in a slide, but fails to stop it

Nawaz to Samarawickrama, FOUR, stylish shot by Samarawickrama! He advances down the wicket and puts this away to the deep mid-wicket fence with a nicely executed flick

Nawaz to Samarawickrama, FOUR, fraction short outside off, Samarawickrama treks back in the crease and plays a well-timed late cut, finds the square third man boundary with nonchalance

Abrar Ahmed to Janith Liyanage, SIX, has that gone the distance? Looks like, it has! Was a googly by Abrar and Liyanage was down the wicket to loft this towards deep mid-wicket. Hits the cushions on the full and that shall be a maximum

Nawaz to Janith Liyanage, 1 run, 100 up for Sri Lanka! This was a touch short and Janith Liyanage nudged it to wide long-on for one

Abrar Ahmed to Asalanka, out Lbw!! Another wicket for Abrar Ahmed. He's on a roll. A googly by the spinner and Asalanka completely fails to read it. Looks to defend, gets hit on the back knee and replays confirm this was crashing into the middle stump. Nothing on UtlraEdge either and that's the end of Asalanka. Sri Lanka in a spot of bother as they have lost their fourth wicket before reaching the 100-run mark. Asalanka lbw b Abrar Ahmed 6(7) [4s-1]

Abrar Ahmed to Asalanka, FOUR, swept away! Asalanka goes down on his knee and puts it away to the deep backward square leg boundary

Abrar Ahmed to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Nawaz!! Abrar Ahmed gets his second wicket! This was fraction short and Kusal Mendis was on his back foot to play the pull shot. Finds the fielder at mid-wicket as Nawaz takes a sharp catch. Kusal Mendis can't believe his luck and starts heading back to the pavilion in disappointment. Just when a steady partnership was building, the spinner has broken it. Kusal Mendis c Nawaz b Abrar Ahmed 20(28) [4s-2]

Nawaz to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, fraction short outside off, Kusal Mendis rocks back in the crease and cuts it through backward point for four runs. Nicely executed late cut by the batter

Mohammad Wasim to Samarawickrama, FOUR, dismissive! Short of length delivery, sits up nicely for Samarawickrama and he nails the pull in front of square. He quickly gets into position and smashes it in the gap

Mohammad Wasim to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, poor delivery and Mendis puts it away. Full delivery on the pads, Mendis leans forward and flicks it backward of square. There were two fielders in the deep but he split them

Abrar Ahmed to Kamil Mishara, out Stumped!! Excellent work by Rizwan and Abrar. Floated up, it was the googly outside off and the ball spins away, Mishara looks to go down the ground and is beaten on the outside edge. Rizwan gathers the ball cleanly and lights up the stumps. Mishara's back leg was drawn out of the crease as he attempted the shot and he tried t drag it back in but was late in doing so. He was on the line when the bails were off the groove. Kamil Mishara st Rizwan b Abrar Ahmed 27(39) [4s-2]

Abrar Ahmed to Kamil Mishara, out Nissanka Run Out!! 2 runs completed. Sri Lanka have gifted the first wicket. There was no need to risk a third run but Nissanka goes for it and pays the price. Abrar goes round the wicket, flights the googly and gets it to straighten, Mishara prods forward to defend and gets an outside edge, no slip and the ball races away fine. Naseem chases behind, slides and stops while Wasim sends in a flat throw to Rizwan, he uproots the stumps and even a full length dive from Nissanka can't save him. Nissanka run out (Rizwan/Mohammad Wasim) 24(31) [4s-4]

Haris Rauf to Nissanka, FOUR, shot! Once again Rauf strays onto the pads and is picked away easily. 142.3ks full delivery on leg, Nissanka flicks it square and the ball races away to the fence

Haris Rauf to Kamil Mishara, FOUR, unlucky! Fullish delivery, slanting in and Mishara is drawn into the drive, he gets a thick inside edge and the ball flies past leg-stump. Rauf is left with his hands on his face

Naseem Shah to Nissanka, FOUR, shot! Hint of width and Nissanka is quick to cash in. The length was not full to play the drive, but Nissanka plays it on the up and with an open bat face, beats a diving point and the ball races away

Haris Rauf to Nissanka, FOUR, streaky! 139.2ks back of a length delivery, Nissanka stays rooted to the crease and tries to force it through the off-side, gets a thick inside edge and the ball races to fine leg

Haris Rauf to Kamil Mishara, FOUR, loosener from Rauf. Short and wide outside off, Mishara stands tall and reaches to play the cut, cracks it in front of square and the outfield is lightning fast. Mishara too is off the mark with a boundary

Naseem Shah to Nissanka, FOUR, this time Nissanka connects. 140.7ks short and outside off, he gets on top of the bounce and cracks it past point. Once again not much bounce and Nissanka was ready for it
