Okay! That ends a longggggg second ODI between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Karachi. A quiet affair, with nothing happening outside the cricketing field. The third and final ODI will be played on Wednesday, 2nd October, 2019 at 3 pm local (1000 GMT). ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
Victorious Pakistan captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed, is all smiles. On the big partnership blooming in the middle for Sri Lanka, Sarfaraz says that the bowlers need to work on being more consistent with their lines and lengths in the middle overs. With the bat, he wants batsmen to convert their starts and play a longer innings. On any possible changes for the final ODI, Ahmed says that he would like to play with his first-choice XI but also hints at giving a few chances to some new players.
Sri Lankan skipper, Lahiru Thirimanne, praises the effort by Jayasuriya and Shanaka but is disappointed with the way his team handled the first 10 overs with the bat. On his team's bowling, Thirimanne agrees that it was not bad but feels that they could have restricted Pakistan under 300. Stresses that the bowlers did well at few stages but towards the death, leaked a few runs. On the positives in this game, Lahiru cites Shehan Jayasuriya's example and looks out for more youngsters to make the most of these opportunities.
USMAN SHINWARI HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH. Thanks the almighty for enabling him to make a comeback after 6 months. Assesses the wicket to be on the slower side and hence, he resorted to bowling cutters. On him doing well against Sri Lanka, Usman smiles and says that he was hit for a lot in his debut, hence, he is returning the favour. On his efforts to come back into international cricket, Shinwari says that he bent his back really hard to come back and the almighty helped him as well.
Earlier in the day, a clinical batting display from Pakistan got them to 305 after electing to bat. The openers laid a solid platform and then Babar Azam played a calm knock of 115 to keep Sri Lanka at bay. Please stay tuned for the presentation...
Usman Shinwari and Mohammad Amir used the new balls efficiently and made life miserable for the Lankans. Even though Usman got half the wickets of the entire team, everyone else, barring Shadab Khan was excellent. The leggie was having a bad outing, going for 76 in a shade under 10 overs.
Shanaka's calculated attack took some pressure off Jayasuriya who then started to come into his own. However, some cramps then hampered the latter before he eventually got out. Other than that stand, nothing much was worth writing about, except for Pakistan's bowling in this innings.
Chasing 306 to win, Sri Lanka got off to a horror start before two lesser known players got them back on track. Well, in front of the target, they were always behind the 8-ball but at least, that 177-run stand gave them some respect and hope. Either side of that partnership, only 61 runs were added. Shehan Jayasuriya was playing a calm knock but it was Dasun Shanaka who injected some momentum into the chase.
Where did this match end? When Babar scored a century? When Pakistan crossed 300? When Sri Lanka were 28/5? Tough to say. Looking at the fight shown by Shanaka and Jayasuriya, if the top order had contributed a bit more, who knows, we might have had a different result.
Right. The first complete ODI in Karachi in a long while. And Pakistan come out victorious. Not a surprise to many but that record 6th-wicket stand between Shanaka and Jayasuriya almost gave some other ideas.

Shadab Khan To Wanindu Hasaranga OUT!
OUT! Caught! That ends the game. PAKISTAN WIN BY 67 RUNS TO TAKE A 1-0 lead in the now turned 2-match series. A tossed up ball outside off, Hasaranga swings it towards deep mid-wicket but does not quite connect well. Iftikhar Ahmed comes running in from deep mid-wicket and pouches it, albeit a bit too quickly. The ball almost pops out but he controls it.

Wahab Riaz To Lahiru Kumara OUT!
OUT! LBW! Number 9 goes down. Looked a harsh call to the naked eye but Sri Lanka do not have any review left. A length ball, around middle and off, cutting back in sharply, Kumara jumped to defend but was beaten by pace. The ball skidded back sharply and caught him on the pads, Riaz appealed and the umpire raised his finger. Well... Ball Tracker shows it to be hitting leg. Perhaps Kumara expected a short ball.

Shadab Khan To Wanindu Hasaranga
Looks to go big again but this time Shadab smartly throws it wider outside off. Wanindu is halfway down the track, nowhere near the pitch of the ball and luckily, he connects. Even though he top edges it, it is in no man's land, well wide of the jogging Imad from extra cover. Two runs taken.

Usman Shinwari To Isuru Udana OUT!
OUT! Edged and caught behind. Lion-hearted effort from Usman Shinwari as he bags his second ODI 5-fer on a flat deck. He has come in and run very hard on a highway, as if to question the selectors, as to why, o why, was I left out of the World Cup squad. A slower ball, outside off, cutting away, Udana backs away and slogs hard, only managing a thick outside edge. Simple catch for Sarfaraz Ahmed.

Shadab Khan To Dasun Shanaka OUT!
OUT! Caught! That is a stunning catch from Fakhar Zaman. In the twinkle of an eye, both Batman and Robin have disappeared. First, Jayasuriya. Now, Shanaka. Short and outside off, Dasun rocks back and pulls it. The ball seems to be dipping towards deep mid-wicket but Fakhar Zaman comes running in and dives forward to take a brilliant catch. A fine 68 from Shanaka, his highest ODI score. Sadly for him and his team, this match is over.
Shadab Khan is back on. 7-0-54-0 so far.

Usman Shinwari To Shehan Jayasuriya OUT!
OUT! Caught behind! No century for Jayasuriya. No double century stand. The 6th wicket stand has finally been broken. Usman gets his fourth. A length ball outside off, Shehan looks to push but misses. The ball goes behind, generating some noise and Sarfaraz immediately appeals. The umpire consents and Shehan walks back disappointed. He tried hard but the task was too mountainous for him. A fantastic 96 from a position where Sri Lanka were down and out at 28/5. Now, they need 102 from 55 balls.

Play halted! Reason? One of the floodlights has stopped illuminating completely. Now, this is the last thing you want on a cricket field. Pakistan will hope that this forced break will hamper Sri Lanka's progress and steal their momentum. The players are taking this opportunity to relax. Equation - 122 needed off 76 balls.

Shehan Jayasuriya is on the ground! Looks to be more of a cramp, to be honest. Sri Lanka need this pair to carry on and on. They have done a fabulous job but the task is a monumental one. This could just be the break which might change the momentum in Pakistan's favour. it is 34 degrees but feels like 41. Terribly hot. Thankfully, the sun has set, else it would have felt like 82.

A short one and on the body, Shehan looks to pull but misses it.
Drinks break. The century partnership between Shehan Jayasuriya and Dasun Shanaka has offered good resistance in this run chase. Winning this match is still a longggggg way away but Sri Lanka will be pleased with the effort of their boys. 166 needed off 108 balls and it's not impossible to achieve. However, it's just a matter of one wicket for Pakistan. Let's see how this run chase finishes.

Wahab Riaz To Dasun Shanaka
Bouncer again, no mercy shown by the bowler. It's around leg and this time Shanaka makes a clean leave. Lets it go to the keeper.
Drinks break. Dasun Shanaka is getting the attention of the physio. Meanwhile, let's quickly summarize this run chase so far. It's been all Pakistan from the word go. Mohammad Amir and Usman Shinwari were brilliant with the new balls and didn't waste much time in running through the top half of the Lankan batting. This match is firmly in the home side's favour and the Islanders would be hoping for some sort of a fight from the remaining batsmen.

Ouch, that would have hurt! A half-tracker around middle and off, Shanaka crouches as he tries to lean back and get away from the line of fire. But he fails to move his body out and takes a blow on his chest. Looks winded. Physio is called and the umpires take that opportunity to call for Drinks.

Imad Wasim To Oshada Fernando OUT!
OUT! LBW! The decision stays as it is and Sri Lanka suffer two strikes in one blow - Oshada and a review. The arm ball, pitched outside off, Oshada looks to defend but completely misses the line of the ball. He looks to play with the angle, towards the leg side but misses the line. Is hit on the pads and Imad runs towards the keeper in half-appeal and celebration. The umpire takes his time and raises his finger. Surprisingly, the batsman takes the review. Nothing much to chew. The first wicket to a spinner this innings. Will Powerplay 3 dawn upon us tonight?
That is out. Dead plumb LBW. Oshada Fernando has been adjudged by the umpire but he has taken the review. Looks stone dead even in the replays. Nothing on the Ultra Edge. Three reds according to Ball Tracker. Half the side gone, on 10.1.
Powerplay 2 has been signaled! Now a maximum of 4 fielders can be placed outside the ring till the 40th over. IF the game lasts till then.

Usman Shinwari To Lahiru Thirimanne OUT!
OUT! Lazy Lahiru! Clean catch from Sarfaraz. Sri Lanka slip further. Shinwari is on a wicket-taking spree. He delivers it on a length and outside off. Seeing the width on offer, Thirimanne decides to have a go. He has his weight on the back leg as he throws his bat at the ball. But to his bad luck, it takes the inner portion of the blade before flying behind. Sarfaraz goes down low to catch it inches above the surface. The appeal is made but the umpire wants to get it checked upstairs. The soft signal is given as out. Time for the replays and just one frame is enough to confirm that Thirimanne is a goner. Poor shot selection from the skipper and he has left the sinking ship without any fight. A double-wicket maiden!
Lahiru Thirimanne is caught behind! The umpire though wants to check it upstairs. Has that carried? To the naked eye, it did look so. The soft signal is OUT. Here comes the replay. No problem with the front foot landing. There is a noise as the ball passes the bat. And oh yes, the ball has carried straight into the mitts. The Sri Lankan captain is already three-quarters of his way back to the pavillion but he just stops to look back at the giant screen. And he gets three letters. O. U. T.
