Right then, that wraps up the league stage of the T20I Tri-Series. Sri Lanka emerged victorious, securing their place in the final after an exciting contest. Up next, the Final will see Pakistan face off against Sri Lanka at the same venue on November 29th. The action gets underway at 6.30 pm IST (1.00 pm GMT), and we’ll be with you well before the first ball for all the pre-match build-up, expert analysis, and insights. Until then, take care, and goodbye!
Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka shared his delight after the win, expressing pride in the team’s performance and resilience. He singled out Kamil Mishara for his brilliant knock and also praised Janith Liyanage and Kusal Mendis for their important contributions. On the bowling front, Shanaka lauded Dushmantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranga, calling them world-class performers who delivered when it mattered. Closing his remarks, Shanaka added that he is eagerly looking forward to the final.
Salman Agha, the Pakistan skipper, comes up for a chat. He says that they had the game in control after coming off 40-odd for 4. Shares that the score was gettable, but they did not start well with either the bat or the ball, and also leaked runs in the Powerplay while bowling. Adds that he would have been happier if he had finished the game, but spending time in the middle was good.
Dushmantha Chameera is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant spell. He says that the plan was to bowl straight, wicket to wicket, and execute the plan. Adds that after some dew in the outfield, batting was a bit easier, so he went to the yorkers, and it helped in the game.
Presentation time...
For Sri Lanka, Dushmantha Chameera was the standout bowler, producing a brilliant spell of fast bowling with figures of 4/20. He was well supported by Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana, who shared three wickets between them. Earlier, Sri Lanka posted a competitive total of 184, a slightly below-par score given their explosive start, which was led by Kamil Mishara’s fifty and Kusal Mendis’s aggressive cameo. After racing to 58/1 in the Powerplay and building a strong platform, the innings lost momentum in the latter stages as Pakistan’s bowlers, led by the impressive Salman Mirza and Abrar Ahmed, restricted them to just 47 runs in the final five overs. Despite the slowdown, Sri Lanka managed to hold on and secure a six-run victory.
Chasing 185, Pakistan found themselves in deep trouble at 43/4 inside the Powerplay. However, a resilient partnership between Usman Khan (33) and Salman revived their hopes, adding 56 crucial runs. After Usman’s dismissal, Mohammad Nawaz played a blistering cameo of 26 off just 17 balls, providing much-needed support to Salman, who produced a valiant 63 off 44 balls. Despite their efforts, Pakistan fell just short of the target. All in all, it was a thrilling contest that showcased the highs, lows, and sheer unpredictability of cricket.
Phew! In a nail-biting clash, it was Sri Lanka who held their nerve, edging past Pakistan by 6 runs to secure their place in the Tri-Series Final. The match swung back and forth from the first ball to the last, but it was Dushmantha Chameera’s final over that ultimately sealed the victory for the Lankan Lions.
