Eshan Malinga to Nawaz, out Caught by Hasaranga!! That's better from Malinga. But it might be too late for Sri Lanka. Nawaz has done some damage in the last couple of overs. The slower delivery once again, but the length is pulled back and Nawaz does not get under this, mistimes the loft and it is a simple catch for Hasaranga at long-off. Sri Lanka needed this to stay in the game and put the pressure back on Pakistan. Nawaz c Hasaranga b Eshan Malinga 27(16) [4s-1 6s-2]
