PAK vs SL Live Cricket Score

2.2 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Both openers are back in the hut, and Shaheen Afridi is on fire here. Hard length and outside off, going away from the batter. Pathum Nissanka throws his hands at it without any foot movement and tries to drag it, but gets a faint outside edge that goes behind the wickets. The keeper, Mohammad Haris makes no mistake there, who pouches it to his right around his waist. Sri Lanka are 18/2 and Nissanka departs for 8 (7). 18/2

0.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, a soft dismissal and Shaheen Afridi has provided an early breakthrough for Pakistan in this big contest. 21st wicket for Afridi in the first over in T20Is. Shaheen goes a bit fuller and keeps the line around middle and off. Kusal Mendis shifts his weight on the front foot and looks to flick it. He gets the connection right but fails to hit it wide of the fielder or along the ground. Ends up jabbing it straight to the mid-wicket fielder, where Hussain Talat takes it. Kusal departs for a golden duck, and Sri Lanka are rocked early as they are 1/1. 1/1

5.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Haris Rauf has his revenge! The change of angle does the trick. Rauf switches to around the wicket and goes fuller, at the stumps. Kusal looks to whip it across the line but does not quite go through with the shot. Just checks his shot and ends up chipping it towards mid on. Faheem Ashraf moves to his left and dives to take a fine catch. Kusal falls for 15 (12). Sri Lanka are 43/3. 43/3

7.2 OUT! TAKEN! The move to bring on Hussain Talat has worked like a charm! Asalanka perishes in his quest to keep going. Talat goes into the surface and bowls it with a scrambled seam, on off and middle. Charith swivels and attempts the pull but fails to get on top of the bounce. A top edge is induced, and it flies down to deep square leg, where Haris Rauf runs in off the ropes and takes a safe catch at waist height. 58/4

18.4 OUT! LBW! Pakistan get the review right and Shaheen Afridi has struck at a crucial juncture in the game. A searing yorker from over the wicket, angled in at the toes. Mendis looks to get his bat down, but plays down the wrong line. The ball sneaks past the inside edge to crash into the right boot. A massive appeal for LBW but turned down. Looks to be sliding down leg, but Salman Agha takes the review. The UltraEdge shows no bat, and the Ball Tracking shows three reds with the ball crashing into the leg pole. Mendis departs for 50 (44). The 43-run stand is broken, and Sri Lanka are now 123/7. 123/7

7.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Two in two for Hussain Talat and Pakistan are all over Sri Lanka! Hussain switches to over the wicket for the right-hander and bowls it on a back of a length. Dasun Shanaka hops but does not quite get close to the line of the ball. Looks to punch it away on the off side with his hands. It is another cross-seam delivery, and it nips back in enough to graze the outside edge. The keeper, Mohammad Haris, does the rest. Sri Lanka's star with the bat in the previous game is gone for a golden duck. Sri Lanka are 58/5 and Talat is on a hat trick. 58/5

12.1 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Abrar Ahmed strikes and performs the Wanindu Hasaranga signature celebration. Surely, that won't sit well with the Lankans. Abrar floats it up, keeps it fuller and around middle, a googly, turning back in. Wanindu gets down on one knee and tries to sweep it, but the ball turns back in and sneaks under the bat to crash into the middle stump. Wanindu departs for 15 (13) and Sri Lanka are in deep, deep trouble at 80/6. 80/6

19.4 OUT! CAUGHT! A well-judged catch from Salman Agha and the change in length has worked for Haris Rauf! After bowling on the fuller side for the first half of the over, Haris pulls the length back and hits the deck hard. This is around the off stump, and Chameera sets up deep in the crease. Aims to go down the ground, but the ball skids through and it gets spooned behind mid off. Agha runs over his right shoulder, keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through and stretches his hands out in front to grab it. 130/8

5.3 OUT! TAKEN! GONE! Maheesh Theekshana provides the much-needed breakthrough, and the good cameo of Sahibzada Farhan comes to an end. Too full and wide outside off, Farhan gets down on one knee and throws his hands to reach out. Mistimes his shot off the toe end of the bat, and the ball goes flat towards mid off, where Kamindu Mendis backpedals a bit and takes it over his head. Theekshana roars in delight and celebrates the wickets with his teammates. Pakistan are 45/1, needing 89 runs more in 87 balls. 45/1

5.5 OUT! TAKEN! An unbelievable one-handed stunner from Wanindu Hasaranga and Fakhar Zaman is stunned. Maheesh bowls it fuller and around middle, Zaman backs away and tries to access the off side. Goes for an inside-out but ends up hitting it off the bottom part of the bat towards mid off. Wanindu moves to his right a bit and extends his right hand low to snaffle this catch just above the turf. He performs the celebration, which Abrar Ahmed does after taking a wicket. Earlier, when Wanindu Hasaranga was dismissed by Abrar, he performed Hasaranga's signature celebration and now the Sri Lankan has given it back. Pakistan are 46/2. 46/2

6.4 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Wanindu Hasaranga is on fire, and he once again performs Abrar Ahmed's wicket celebration, looking at Pakistan's dugout. He dishes out a googly, touch shorter and around off, turning away. Saim Ayub gets forward and does not pick the googly. Plays for the ball turning into him as he goes for a flick, but gets beaten past the outside edge by the wrong one. The ball rattles the off stump. Pakistan have slipped from 45/0 to 50/3 in a matter of just 8 balls. They need 84 runs in the last 80 balls. 50/3

8.1 OUT! LBW! Big shout and the umpire raises his finger. However, Salman Agha has a chat with his partner and opts for a review here. Wanindu serves the googly, full and around middle, Salman prods forward and looks to defend it, but gets beaten on the inside edge. The ball gets rapped low on the front pad. The third umpire is called in, and there is nothing on the UltraEdge. The Ball Tracking presents three reds with the ball hitting the leg stump, and the on-field call stays. Salman Agha walks back for 5 (6) and from being 45/0, Pakistan have slipped to 57/4. Wanindu Hasaranga has been at his very best, and he is single-handedly turning the game for his side. 57/4

11.1 OUT! TIMBER! Dushmantha Chameera strikes on his return to the attack! Chameera charges in from over the wicket and slips in a good-length delivery. An ordinary choice of shot from Haris as the ball is nowhere close to being full enough and he swings to belt it down the ground with a straight bat. Plants his front foot forward but the ball nips back and brushes the thigh pad before crashing into the top of the middle stump. Sri Lanka will certainly have a spring in their step after this strike. Pakistan have lost half their side for 80, needing 54 more runs. 80/5
