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

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. Looks like he lost it in the background or the lights. Nothing going Sri Lanka's way. Farhan flat-batted this short of length delivery and escaped

Dasun Shanaka to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run, oh that's almost taken Shanaka's hand with it. Ouch, on the thumb! Farhan absolutely smacked this short of a length delivery for another straight boundary, Shanaka stuck his left hand out to get a deflection and you got be cruel to call that a dropped chance even though it's technically one

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

Dasun Shanaka to Sahibzada Farhan, no run, back of a length on off stump, Sahibzada hops and taps it off the splice near his feet
