Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI Highlights: Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Bowlers Shine As Pak Whitewash SL 3-0

Back for the chase. The players are out in the middle. Fakhar Zaman and Haseebullah Khan to open for Pakistan. Pramod Madushan to bowl first.

... The Run Chase ...

Pakistan will look to wrap up the series with a clean sweep, while Sri Lanka aims to salvage some pride. The pitch has been unpredictable, and the Lankan bowlers will need to attack the stumps and vary their pace to trouble the Pakistani batters. Can Sri Lanka defend their total and salvage some pride, or will Pakistan chase it down and inflict a clean sweep? Let's find out.

Pakistan's bowling was top-notch as they dug deep and restricted Sri Lanka to 211, thanks to some brilliant performances. Mohammad Wasim was on fire, taking 3 wickets, while Haris Rauf and Faisal Akram claimed 2 each. Faheem Ashraf and Shaheen Afridi added to the tally with 1 wicket each. A flawless bowling display from the Men in Green!

Sri Lanka's batting struggles persist, as they failed to capitalise on their promising start, scoring 57 in the first 10 overs, only to be bowled out for 211 in the 46th over. Sadeera Samarawickrama's 48 was the top score, with others contributing, but the lack of a big score from one or two has left them in a difficult position. The visitors' inability to convert starts into big scores remains a concern, and it's a trend that's unchanged even after this ODI.

Another poor show with the bat for Sri Lanka as they're all out for 211, and it's a disappointing end to their innings as they have been bowled out in 46 overs. The openers gave them a great start, but the rest of the batting unit failed to capitalise, getting in and out at the wrong time.

OUT! RUN OUT! A risky second run but Sri Lanka had no option but to get Rathnayake back on strike. A yorker length delivery on leg, Rathnayake jams it out to deep square leg. He rushes back for the second but Saim Ayub is equally quick in the field, picks up and throws to Haseebullah Khan who whips the bails off. The replay shows Rathnayake is short despite the dive. Sri Lanka are bowled out for 211.

A run out appeal has been taken upstairs.

Good length on the pads, Pavan Rathnayake tucks it to mid-wicket for no run.

Good length on off, Eshan Malinga punches this off his front foot towards sweeper cover for no run. A single was on offer but Pavan Rathnayake being the set batter, denies it.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! WOAH! A well-directed bumper, into the batter. Pramod Madushan gets into a really awkward position trying to get it away but ends up edging this off the gloves back to the keeper. Haseebullah Khan gathers this and he doesn't even appeal as this looked like a clear edge to him and Rauf as well. The umpire somehow doesn't pick it up and turns down the appeal at the end. Shaheen Afridi sends this upstairs. The replay shows a clear deflection off the gloves and the umpire changes his decision to OUT.

Short pitched, wide of off. Pavan Rathnayake flat bats it to deep point for one.

On a length around off, Pavan Rathnayake pushes this to cover for no run.

Bumper, on middle and off. Pavan Rathnayake goes for the hook but misses out.

SIX! SENSATIONAL! Good length wide of off, Pavan Rathnayake stands his ground, rises with the bounce and lofts this right from the middle of his bat up and over the fence towards the long off region for a huge six.

Wasim hits the hard length on off, Pramod Madushan defends it out.

On a length around off, Pavan Rathnayake punts this to cover for one.

On a length around the pads, Pramod Madushan flicks this through backward square leg for one.

Bumper, on leg. Pramod Madushan mistimes his pull but lands it in the empty pocket around long left for two. 200 comes up for Sri Lanka.

Back of a length on off, Pramod Madushan dead bats it.
