In Rawalpindi, Pakistan smashed Sri Lanka by 82 runs, riding a 215/3 finish that left the visitors scrambling to chase a daunting target.
Sadaqat’s 96 off 51 balls set the tone, but it was the 88‑run partnership with Farhan that really sent the crowd into a frenzy. Farhan, who finished on 73 from 44 balls, hit five sixes and four fours before being caught by Shanaka in the 15th over. The duo’s blistering run‑rate—70 runs in the last five overs—kept the pressure relentless.
On the bowling front, Mohammad Imran dominated, taking 3 for 11 in just three overs. His figures stunted Sri Lanka’s chase, and the visitors dropped three crucial catches, turning the match into a one‑sided affair.
Captain Farhan erupted with praise: "We’re moving in the right direction and can finish every game with 200+.” Sri Lanka’s skipper Mendis blamed the fielding lapses, noting the three dropped catches. The atmosphere in Rawalpindi was electric, with fans chanting for Pakistan’s next win.
With a 2‑0 series lead, Pakistan is on track for a clean sweep, while Sri Lanka will need a miracle in the final match on Tuesday to salvage a single win. The stakes are high, and the next showdown promises more fireworks.
