Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, 50th Match, Super 8 Group 2 (Y3 v Y4), ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Dushmantha Chameera to Fakhar Zaman, out Bowled!! Finally, after 94 balls, Sri Lanka manage to break the opening stand but luck did play a role here. Chameera stuck to the wide yorker for the left-hander as well. Turned out to be a dipping low full toss that Fakhar moved across to play behind square. But he ended up smashing it onto his own stumps off the inside edge. Sahibzada Farhan gives a pat on the back to Fakhar as he walks off after a sensational innings. Fakhar is one of the best batters in this format for Pakistan and sometimes it's outrageous to see how they handle him. He's proved it on the big day again when his side needed to win big.
