pakistan tour of sri lanka, 2026

Mohammad Wasim to Theekshana, out Caught by Usman Khan!! Sri Lanka have been bowled out for 128! That's a successful review by Pakistan. This was pitched up by the bowler outside off and Theekshana went for a drive through the off-side. Gets an inside edge and the keeper takes a good low catch behind the wickets. Theekshana is the last man out. Theekshana c Usman Khan b Mohammad Wasim 1(3)

Salman Mirza to Chameera, out Caught by Shadab Khan!! Third wicket for Salman Mirza. On a length outside off and Chameera has chipped it straight to the fielder at extra cover. An easy catch taken by the fielder stationed there and Sri Lanka are only one wicket away from getting bowled out. Chameera c Shadab Khan b Salman Mirza 0(3)

Salman Mirza to Shanaka, out Caught by Faheem Ashraf!! Salman Mirza comes back into the attack and removes Shanaka. Short and wide outside off, Shanaka slashes away from his body and ends up finding the fielder at deep backward point. Sri Lanka are eight down. Not the kind of finish Sri Lanka were looking for. Shanaka c Faheem Ashraf b Salman Mirza 12(9) [4s-1]

Abrar Ahmed to Janith Liyanage, out Caught by Mohammad Nawaz!! End of a fine knock by Janith Liyanage. He takes the aerial route and lofts this towards long-on, but Nawaz in the deep completes a safe catch. Sri Lanka are seven down, but importantly they have lost a set batsman. Janith Liyanage c Mohammad Nawaz b Abrar Ahmed 40(31) [4s-2 6s-1]

Abrar Ahmed to Hasaranga, out Caught by Fakhar Zaman!! Abrar Ahmed has the last laugh! A tossed up delivery outside off, Hasaranga takes the aerial route and lofts this towards wide long-off. Fakhar in the deep is quick to move across to his left as he completes a well-judged catch. End of a handy cameo by Hasaranga, but he would've liked to add a few runs with more than 4 overs still to go.. Hasaranga c Fakhar Zaman b Abrar Ahmed 18(12) [4s-3]

Abrar Ahmed to Asalanka, out Caught by Usman Khan!! That's a soft dismissal and Asalanka is gone. Abrar Ahmed strikes in his first over. That was a tossed up delivery by Abrar Ahmed outside off, slightly fuller, Asalanka goes down on his knee to play the slogsweep, gets a bottom edge and the keeper takes a safe catch behind the wickets. Sri Lanka have lost half their side and are in a spot of bother. Asalanka c Usman Khan b Abrar Ahmed 18(15) [6s-1]

Shadab Khan to Dhananjaya, out Caught by Usman Khan!! What happened there? Loud appeal for caught behind and umpire Chamara De Zoysa shakes his head. Shadab and Usman Khan were about to ask Agha to take the review when De Zoysa raised his finger. Two wickets in the over for Shadab and Sri Lanka in tatters. This was the googly, spins in from outside off and Dhananjaya looks to drive, gets an inside edge and Usman manages to cling on using his thigh and gloves. Dhananjaya c Usman Khan b Shadab Khan 10(10) [4s-1]

Shadab Khan to Kusal Mendis, out Lbw!! That looked dead in real time. But the ball did spin and was just clipping off-stump. So Sri Lanka don't lose a review. Premeditated sweep from Mendis, he was into the shot early and the flighted delivery sneaks under his bat, strikes him on the back thigh right in front of the stumps. The impact was not a problem and the only question was if the ball was spinning. Since the length was too full, umpire Chamara De Zoysa thought it would be hitting the stumps. Kusal Mendis lbw b Shadab Khan 14(15) [4s-2]

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]

Salman Mirza to Kamil Mishara, out Caught by Salman Agha!! Soft dismissal! Mirza provides the early breakthrough. 138ks fullish delivery and Mishara wanted to loft it over mid-off, gets it high on the bat and offers a simple catch to Agha. It was in the slot with the line being outside off but Mishara could not get it off the middle. Mishara has been one of the in-form players for Sri Lanka and he goes for a duck. Kamil Mishara c Salman Agha b Salman Mirza 0(3)

Dhananjaya to Fakhar Zaman, out Stumped!! He's gone! Advances down the wicket to have a wild swing, misses it altogether and the keeper has disloged the bails in a flash. Fakhar Zaman has no chance to get back in. He departs after playing a rusty knock. Fakhar Zaman st Kusal Mendis b Dhananjaya 5(10)

Chameera to Sahibzada Farhan, out Caught by Shanaka!! Sahibzada Farhan departs after notching up his fifty. Short of a length delivery around off, Sahibzada Farhan looks to take on the bowler. Goes for the aerial route, but doesn't get the required timing, miscuing it straight to Shanaka at mid-off. A safe catch taken and Pakistan have lost their set batter. Sahibzada Farhan c Shanaka b Chameera 51(36) [4s-4 6s-2]

Hasaranga to Salman Agha, out Caught by Nissanka!! That's a juicy full toss, but Hasaranga gets a wicket. Salman Agha charges down the wicket and tries to go downtown. Miscues it towards long-on where Nissanka holds on to a safe catch. Salman Agha c Nissanka b Hasaranga 16(11) [4s-2]

Theekshana to Saim Ayub, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Sri Lanka have their first wicket but it has come too late. That doesn't stop Theekshana from doing his usual bow and arrow celebration. 100ks full and at the stumps, Ayub looks to loft through the line and misses, the ball crashes into middle-stump. Nothing but a straight delivery and Ayub was beaten for pace there. Saim Ayub b Theekshana 24(18) [4s-3 6s-1]
