That is it from this game. Sri Lanka have turned the tables and have sealed the 3-match series 2-0. They would now be looking to whitewash the best side in T20Is in their own backyard. Pakistan, on the other hand, will be looking to give their fans something to cheer about and will play for pride in the 3rd and final T20I of the series. That match will be played at the very same venue on Wednesday, 9th October. That match will begin at 1830 Local (1330 GMT). Join us for that one. Till then, cheers!
Victorious Sri Lankan skipper comes for the interview. Shanaka says they played some quality cricket and hence they were able to achieve the result. Credits Rajapaksa for his brilliant innings and adds he had good support out in the middle. Shanaka hopes that the youngsters to get more chances after the series but he also says that he is aware of the senior players coming back.
Pakistan skipper, Sarfaraz Ahmed is up next for the interview. Sarfaraz admits that they did not play well and were second best to Sri Lanka. Adds they need to look at themselves and feels there were moments in all three departments which saw them wanting. On the poor bowling performance in the series, he says that they tried hard but were not able to execute their plans. Takes out young Mohammad Hasnain as a positive. Sarfaraz feels they were unable to take wickets in the middle overs and that hurt them. On the reason for former players being called up again, Sarfaraz tells that they had performed really well and deserved their call ups.
For his magnificent 77 off 48 balls, Bhanuka Rajapaksa has been named the Man of the Match. Rajapaksa says that initially he had to pace his innings. Admits it is not easy to come to Pakistan and win a series but credits the coaching staff for helping them. Tells he was just happy to be in the side and it is a real joy to defeat the No.1 side in T20Is
Stay tuned for the presentation.
Earlier in the day, Sri Lanka posted a mammoth total of 183 courtesy of brilliant 77 from Bhanuka Rajapaksa and cameos from Shanaka and Jayasuriya. The total was too good for the visitors to chase down. Imad Wasim was the pick of the bowler for Pakistan picking up a wicket and conceding just 27 runs.
It was a collective effort from the Sri Lankan bowlers. Wanindu Hasaranga was expensive but his 3 wickets in one over made the target a lot more difficult for the hosts. But the real star with the ball was Nuwan Pradeep who held his nerve and showed his class. His 4/25 ensured that even though there was a fight back from Imad and Asif Ali it was not enough. Udana and Rajitha had two wickets and one respectively.
Needing 183, Pakistan got off to a terrible start losing both their openers inside the first 4 overs. The hosts tried to find stability with their skipper, Sarfaraz Ahmed taking the aggressor's role. But 3 wickets in one over from Wanindu Hasaranga looked to have killed the tie. Imad Wasim and Asif Ali though had other ideas. The duo added 75 runs but the task in hand was too much as once Imad fell owing to the scoreboard pressure, it was just out of reach for Pakistan's lower order to get and in the end they fell short by 35 runs.
Stop the press! Sri Lanka have broken the duck. They have got their first series win against Pakistan in T20Is. The Sri Lankan players are up in joy.

However, he cannot get the timing he desired and the fielder in the deep, Wanindu Hasaranga takes an easy catch. This young group of Sri Lankan players have played in fantastic fashion as they gain an unassailable lead in this series.

OUT! LBW! Udana has the last laugh and the fans have gone silent once again. Udana shows courage and bowls it full, fast and straight on off. Imad looks to play the sweep once again but this time he misses. The ball hits him on the pad. The Sri Lankan players put in an appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Pakistan has no review left so Imad has to walk back. But what an innings this was from Imad. The game was gone but he has managed to keep his side in the hunt. 56 runs more needed though. Can Pakistan still get it?

Fabulous fielding in the deep! Full ball wide outside off, Ali creams it towards the cover region. The ball is racing to the fence but Wanindu Hasaranga at sweeper cover makes a diving stop to his right to keep the ball in play. It looked like a certain boundary but he has saved two runs for his side. However, Asif Ali makes up ground, puts in a dive and gets his bat in before the keeper dislodges the bails.

NOT OUT! Ali puts in the dive and that has saved him! Another full ball outside off, Ali looks to loft it towards the off side but does not time it well. It falls between cover and sweeper cover, in no man's land. The fielder there picks it up and throws it towards the keeper's end. Ali did not expect such a strong throw and was slow in reacting.
Run Out appeal taken upstairs. Asif Ali is the man in question. He looks confident and the Sri Lankan players are not. Let us see what the replays have to say.

Ali obliges and starts to run towards the keeper's end but he is always in danger as it is a very risky run. Minod Bhanuka, the keeper, is the first one to reach to the ball. He turns and has a shy at the stumps from very close range but misses. Replays show that Asif Ali was not even in the frame and he had been well short. Will this prove to be a costly miss?

OUT! Cleaned 'em. Third wicket in the over and this has completely changed the tide of this game. The wrong 'un has once again done the right thing for Sri Lanka and Wanindu Hasaranga. It is once again short and it turns back in with venom. Sarfaraz looks to cut but he is too late as the ball goes onto rattle the middle stump. The Pakistan skipper was looking so good out in the middle but he too has to walks back. What a brilliant over from Wanindu! 7 runs and 3 wickets. Yes 3!

Wanindu Hasaranga To Umar Akmal OUT!
OUT! LBW! Two in two for Wanindu. Brilliant decision from Aleem Dar. 10th duck in T20Is for Umar Akmal and he now has the joint most ducks in T20Is. Wrong 'un from Hasaranga. It is short and pitching on off, Akmal looks to play the late cut but the ball viciously spins in. He looks to have hit it but the Lankan players put in a huge appeal. The umpire takes his time and then slowly raises his finger. Umar Akmal is confident though that it did not kiss his pad and he takes it upstairs. Replay rolls in and Ultra Edge shows that the ball just about kisses the back pad before hitting the bat. Hawk Eye then rolls in and it shows all reds. Wanindu Hasaranga on a hat-trick now.
LBW appeal taken upstairs. Umar Akmal is the man in question. Will he get another golden duck? If it is hitting the pad first then Umar is out of here.
Umar Akmal is the new man in.

Isuru Udana To Sarfaraz Ahmed
Direct hit and it would have been close. Good length ball on off, Sarfaraz plays it with soft hands towards backward point and calls for a quick single. Wanindu has a shy at the keeper's end but misses. Had he hit Shehzad would have been in all kind of troubles.

Isuru Udana To Sarfaraz Ahmed
FOUR! Slower ball but it has gone wrong here. It is full and down the leg side. Sarfaraz is strong square of the wicket on the leg side and he flicks it with ease through square leg for a boundary. His second of the game already and he looks to be in the mood.

Nuwan Pradeep To Babar Azam OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Two down now and the main man for Pakistan, Babar Azam departs! Good length ball, jagging back in with the angle. Azam looks to play it straight but gets a thick inside edge onto the pads. The ball then goes onto disturb the stumps. Big, big blow for Pakistan. There is a stunned silence here in Lahore. Only the Sri Lankan fans can be heard. Pakistan in deep waters here. They need 172 runs more to win.

Kasun Rajitha To Fakhar Zaman OUT!
OUT! CHOPPED ON! What has Zaman done here! Trying to be cheeky which is really not his game. Rajitha bowls a yorker outside off, Fakhar looks to get outside the line and paddle scoop it behind towards the fine leg region. The ball hits his left boot and goes on to hit the stumps to dislodge the bails. Pakistan lose their first wicket and it is a huge body blow to them.

Rajitha starts with a good length ball on off. It comes onto the bat nicely as Babar punches it off his back foot. The man at point dives to his right and saves runs for his side.
We are back for the chase. Pakistan openers Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam walk out in pursuit of the Sri Lankan total. The Sri Lankan team is out in a huddle. Kasun Rajitha to start for the visitors with the ball.
