Right then, that’s all from this entertaining contest. Pakistan take a 1-0 lead in the series and will look to wrap it up in the next game, while Sri Lanka will be eager to bounce back and take it to a decider. The action resumes here in Rawalpindi for the 2nd ODI on 13th November, Thursday, starting at 9.30 am GMT. Do join us early for all the build-up and pre-match excitement. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Shaheen Afridi, the victorious skipper of Pakistan, says that he is happy with the performance of his team. He continues by praising the partnership between Salman Agha and Hussain Talat. He adds that it's because of them that they were able to put a target of 300 on the board. Mentions that they should minimise the dot ball percentage in the Powerplay in their batting inning. Also credits Haris Rauf and reckons that Rauf is a natural wicket-taker for their side. Ends up saying that it was an awesome catch by Babar Azam at the slips.
Charith Asalanka, the captain of Sri Lanka, says that they bowled really well in the first 20 overs or so. Adds that after that, they were a bit inconsistent but credits Salman and Talat for the way they batted. Mentions that they conceded a few too many, as he thought they could have restricted Pakistan to 260-270, as this was not a 300 wicket. Says that, including him, a few of the batters made some bad decisions, and they lost a lot of wickets in the middle, but Rauf also bowled very well at the same time. Ends by saying that Wanindu Hasaranga is a key player for him and he has been contributing with both bat and ball, and hopes that he continues to do so for the team.
Salman Agha is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his superb hundred. He says that he played one ball at a time, and that is the reason he succeeded in scoring big runs. He also reckons that his partnership with him and Hussain Talat was important for his team. He also adds that running between the wickets was the main highlight of their partnership, as they kept on with their singles and doubles to keep the scoreboard ticking. Ends up saying that he knew that they could score 100 runs in the last 10 overs, as they have finishers like Mohammad Nawaz, so they just tried to take the game deep, and it worked.
Presentation Time...
Pakistan’s new-ball duo, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah, struggled to find their rhythm early on, conceding plenty of runs and extras that made life easy for the batters. It was also the fourth straight game where they failed to take a wicket in the first Powerplay. However, Haris Rauf turned things around brilliantly, striking three times in back-to-back overs to bring Pakistan right back into the contest. He later broke a threatening stand as well, aided by a superb catch from Babar Azam. Naseem Shah had a rough outing but finished strongly with a couple of key wickets, including the big one of Hasaranga, while Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Nawaz chipped in with crucial strikes to help Pakistan just edge over the line. Still, there are a few areas they’ll want to tidy up before the next match.
Earlier in the game, Pakistan put up an impressive total, though it wasn’t all smooth going early on. The top order struggled to get going, but Salman Agha once again stood tall with a superb unbeaten 107 off 87 balls. He found a reliable partner in Hussain Talat, who notched up his maiden ODI fifty, and the pair added a vital 138-run stand to steady the innings. Mohammad Nawaz then provided the late flourish to take the score close to 300. For Sri Lanka, Wanindu Hasaranga was the standout with three wickets, while Maheesh Theekshana and Asitha Fernando took one each, but they’ll rue the missed LBW on Talat at 95 for 4 - a moment that proved decisive once their reviews were gone.
Skipper Charith Asalanka, after surviving an early chance, combined well with Sadeera Samarawickrama to steady the innings with a solid 57-run stand, but Babar Azam produced a stunning catch at first slip to swing the momentum back Pakistan’s way. Asalanka and Janith Liyanage kept the chase alive with smart rotation and timely boundaries, but a rush of blood saw the skipper throw his wicket away, leaving the visitors under pressure. Liyanage soon fell to a peach from Naseem Shah, and with Kamindu Mendis failing to make an impact, it looked doomed for the Lankans. However, Wanindu Hasaranga was not going to go down without a fight and batted superbly to keep them alive in the chase, scoring an excellent fifty, but he fell for 59 at the wrong time with them still needing 21 runs. Maheesh Theekshana's couple of lusty blows got them within touching distance, but they ultimately fell short by just 6 runs.
Sri Lanka got off to a flying start, capitalizing on some erratic bowling from Pakistan and positive intent from Pathum Nissanka and debutant Kamil Mishara, who looked in fine touch. The pair added 85 runs for the opening stand, putting the visitors in control early on. However, once the field restrictions were lifted, things quickly unraveled - both openers fell soon after, and with Kusal Mendis departing for a golden duck, Sri Lanka suddenly slipped from 85 for 0 to 90 for 3, finding themselves needing to rebuild all over again.
A thriller to kick off the ODI series in Pindi! Pakistan draw first blood, but they had to fight hard to cross the finish line. In a game that swung both ways, the hosts just held their nerve better in the crunch moments. Cricket can be cruel at times - Wanindu Hasaranga’s all-round brilliance nearly pulled off a famous win for Sri Lanka, but in the end, it was a case of so close, yet so far.

Hussain Talat To Maheesh Theekshana
Not the ending Sri Lanka hoped to get, but kudos to the lower middle order for staying in the game! A slower delivery to end the inning, on middle. Maheesh Theekshana punches it hard just toward the right of the bowler. Talat looks to hop and take the catch but fails to get any hands on it. The ball rolls toward long on and the batter gets a brace. Pakistan win the encounter by 6 runs and take a 1-0 lead in the series.

Hussain Talat To Maheesh Theekshana
Excellent bowling from Hussain Talat! He bowls it fuller, just outside off. Maheesh Theekshana shuffles across the stumps to scoop it away but misses to have any connection on his blade, and it thumps his pad. Not sure why he chose this option, as he was hitting it straight nicely. It's Pakistan's game now, barring any extras.

Naseem Shah To Wanindu Hasaranga OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR... TAKEN! Naseem Shah gets the most crucial wicket in the death overs! This is not the best of the deliveries, as Naseem offers a high full toss, on middle. Wanindu Hasaranga looks to take on the delivery as he lofts it uppishly to go downtown but misses to match the timing. The ball flies toward the left of the long on fielder, and Babar Azam does the job to scoop the catch safely into his palm. Hasaranga is disappointed, as he knows he was the last hope for his side. He walks back for 59 off 52, and Sri Lanka still need 21 runs in 14 balls.

OUT! DRAGGED ON! Another one bites the dust! Good-length slower delivery, pitching it on middle and shaping away from the left-handed batter. Kamindu Mendis looks to pull it across the line, but goes through the shot early and gets a thick inner edge back onto the stumps. Sri Lanka are 210 for 7 wickets.

Faheem Ashraf To Wanindu Hasaranga
Good-length delivery, outside off. Wanindu Hasaranga mistimes his punch toward the front of the cover fielder and takes a single. The fielder picks the ball and attempts a direct hit at the striker's end but misses. Mohammad Rizwan does extremely well to sprint from his keeping point to his left and dive away to back it up well.
Stat Alert - Sri Lanka's highest successful chase against Pakistan in ODIs is 289, which came back in 2009. So, if they manage to get over the line here, it will be a new record. Also, here's Faheem Ashraf (5-0-19-0).

Superb effort in the deep! Flighted, full and on middle, Charith Asalanka goes down for the sweep again but gets a top edge. The ball flies towards deep square leg, where Faheem Ashraf watches the ball and leaps up to grab it. However, the momentum is taking him over the ropes and he releases the ball before touching the ropes. Just one run taken. After a lot of replays from different angles, the third umpire is convinced that Ashraf has thrown the ball back in time before his foot touches the cushions. He saves a few runs for his team.
Is that a biggie? The third umpire is having a look at it. It seems like Faheem Ashraf's foot has touched the ropes, but the question is, has he released the ball before that or not? The third umpire, after watching the replays, deems that it is not a six.

Much fuller, just outside off. Charith Asalanka drives it through cover and takes a single. He tries to get the second, but as he reaches the non-striker's end, while turning, he slips on the ground.
DRINKS! Haris Rauf has single-handedly turned this game around in the last couple of overs, as he has picked up 3 wickets now. This will now give a lot of confidence to other bowlers, who will hope to build on this momentum and keep chipping in. Sri Lanka were cruising with the openers making batting look easy, but now they are desperate for another partnership to get back on track. Now, Charith Asalanka is the next man in with his side in a spot of bother.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Pakistan were struggling to get the opening breakthrough, but now, all of a sudden, Haris Rauf stepped up and has bagged three scalps in his back-to-back overs! Rauf delivers it on a good length, pitching it on off, angling it in, but then gets it swing away from the right-handed batter at the very last moment. Pathum Nissanka hangs back and gets on his toes to defend it down the track, but the ball gets a slight outer edge and goes into the gloves of Mohammad Rizwan. Another set batter has been dismissed, and Sri Lanka are 90 for 3 now.
