Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, 1st T20I, Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka, 2026 - Player Highlights

Mohammad Wasim to Nissanka, out Caught by Nawaz!! Taken on the second attempt. Both new ball bowlers have struck and Sri Lanka have lost their openers inside 4 overs. Short of length delivery and Nissanka was quick to spot that, he swivels and plays the pull, but just like Mishara - he gets it high on the bat and the ball skies towards deep square leg. Nawaz comes in and juggles once before hanging. The ball popped out but luckily didn't go far from him. The wicket is two-paced and that's why Nissanka and Mishara haven't been able to middle their big shots. Nissanka c Nawaz b Mohammad Wasim 12(12) [4s-2]
