Dilshan Madushanka to Sahibzada Farhan, out Caught by Janith Liyanage!! This is straight to extra-cover and the centurion is gone. Pakistan are not finishing well.

Dasun Shanaka to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run, two T20I hundreds for this man and both have come in this World Cup. This is his 6th T20 hundred since 2025 and what a gem Pakistan have found at the top. He jumps and pumps his fist as he celebrates the hundred with a loud roar. Clearly the best batter of the tournament. Shanaka tried to take pace off and bowl into the wicket wide of off stump, Farhan managed to slap it to long-off and he's absolutely elated. Has been a treat to watch in the modern era. Has smashed Bumrah and other top bowlers. Has gears against spin as well and he's given Pakistan a great platform today

Dushmantha Chameera to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, this is high, fielder takes it but steps on the rope before he could release the ball. Brilliant lofted cover drive from Farhan.

Was too close to the rope when he took the catch and couldn't control the run

Dasun Shanaka to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run, that's straight to the long-off fielder and straight out of his hands. Wellalage immediately calls for attention as he has hurt his finger. What seemed to be a regulation catch was suddenly a mess because Wellalage got into an awkward position sideways when he just had to stay put or move a yard forward to collect it down his throat.

Dasun Shanaka to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, he holds the pose after belting it down the ground. Wasn't an easy shot because Dasun Shanaka bowled that wide of the batter and took pace off but looks like Farhan read it from the hand, delayed the bat swing and smashed it straight
