SL vs PAK Live Cricket Score

33.1 OUT! Third wicket in the third over after drinks. The well-set Dickwella departs and Sri Lanka are in dire straits now. Pakistan have made their way back in this game like it's nobody's business. Mohammad Amir has his tail up and comes steaming in, pitches it on a length in the channel outside off, Dickwella looks to play this across the line and gets an inside edge which goes behind. Sarfraz dives to his right and takes a good low catch. The Men in Green firmly in the driver's seat now. 162/6

5.1 OUT! Soft dismissal! He has thrown it away. A bit more application is what his side would have wanted from him as Dickwella was looking flamboyant at the other end. Back of a length delivery outside off, a bit of room on offer and it holds its line. Gunathilaka stands tall and looks to punch it over wide mid off. However, he mistimes it and the ball flies towards Shoaib Malik in the same region. The veteran moves to his right and pouches it safely. A good start to his 250th game and he is happy. 26/1

14.5 OUT! This time it's gone through! That's an absolutely beautiful delivery. Brilliant. Length delivery on off, nips back in off the deck and this time Kusal Mendis can't get any wood on it. It takes him by surprise and hits the top of middle stump, going straight through the gap between bat and pad. Big wicket for Pakistan, the in-form Mendis departs. 82/2

15.1 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Fahim Ashraf has picked up a wicket on his ODI debut. Dinesh Chandimal's patchy run continues to haunt him. It's full and outside off, Chandimal plants his front foot forward to thrash the drive through the covers but gets a big inside edge to drag it back onto the stumps. The bails are off and Sri Lanka have now lost two wickets in quick succession. 83/3

31.2 OUT! That's a huge wicket, Mohammad Amir gets the big fish! This is the phase where Angelo Mathews would have started to accelerate, so the perfect time for Amir to dismiss him. Breaks the 78-run stand with that too. Just back of a length on the stumps, the Lankan skipper looks to play this across the line by rising on his toes but ends up dragging it back onto his stumps off his pads. Pakistan celebrate, they know this could be their moment to really get on top. Also, this is Amir's first wicket of the tournament. Quite unreal to think about it. He'll be quite pleased with it. 161/4

32.3 OUT! Two wickets in two overs after the drinks break for Pakistan. The man who has just entered the country has been sent back to the dressing room. Junaid Khan with a ripper. Pounds it on a good length on middle and leg, it shapes away ever so slightly and it squares Dhananjaya de Silva up. He hangs his bat out, gets a nick behind as Sarfraz completes the formalities. 162/5

48.1 OUT! Gunaratne holes out! Good length delivery around off and slower in pace, Asela goes for the heave over mid-wicket. Connects decently but doesn't get the elevation he desired on it. Fakhar Zaman in the deep takes a simple catch. A handy knock from the Sri Lankan middle order batsman comes to an end. 232/9

35 OUT! Oh, dear... What are we witnessing here? Sri Lanka have capitulated hopelessly. Good length ball moving away, Thisara Perera looks to play it on the up and ends up getting a thick edge. It flies straight to Babar Azam at wide first slip and he takes a good, sharp catch. Another wicket down for the Islanders. 167/7

44.3 OUT! Hasan Ali strikes again! Bowls a slower delivery on a length on off, Lakmal is foxed by the lack of pace as he goes through with his pick up shot over mid-wicket. Misses it completely and the ball flicks the bails off. Hasan Ali is pumped and celebrates passionately. The batsman doesn't realize it but the bowler tells him to have a look behind. End of an enterprising knock from Lakmal. Pakistan break a good partnership as well. The pair added 46 runs from 57 balls. 213/8

49.2 OUT! SRI LANKA ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 236! Back of a length delivery on off, Pradeep hops back and looks to turn it to the leg side but is early into his stroke. Ends up getting a leading edge that spoons back towards Fahim Ashraf who makes no mistake. 236/10

19.2 OUT! Lakmal gets the big fish! Ali was important in this chase but he is out of here now. The bowling change has done the trick. Good length delivery outside off, bounces a touch extra. Ali hangs back but is undone by the zippiness. He looks to keep it out but gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies towards Kusal Mendis at wide first slip. He goes towards his right initially but does well to adjust. Takes it to his left side with a reverse cup. The match is finely poised at the moment. Pakistan need 127 runs from 184 balls. 110/4

11.2 OUT! Zaman holes out! Dug in short on leg stump, Fakhar goes for the big pull shot but ends up top edging it towards fine leg. Asela Gunaratne stays composed and bends low to take a fine reverse cup catch. Pradeep provides the crucial breakthrough for his side. A breezy knock from the youngster comes to an end. It could be argued that he threw it away but that is the way he bats. Pakistan need 163 to win off 232 balls. 74/1

15.4 OUT! Pradeep strikes! Azam picks the fielder out to perfection. On a good length and angling in towards the pads, Azam whips it but doesn't bother to keep it down. It flies towards Dhananjaya de Silva who takes a good reflex catch at mid-wicket. Pakistan's reliable man fails to make a mark. Will this wicket lead to a collapse? Sri Lanka will hope so. 92/2

16.5 OUT! Soft dismissal! Pakistan are losing the plot all of a sudden. Back of a length delivery on middle, Hafeez camps back and looks to turn it through square leg. However, he is early into his shot and ends up getting it from the splice of the bat towards mid on. Nuwan Pradeep comes in towards the ball and also the short mid-wicket fielder. The former calls for it and takes it safely. The pressure is building and the Lankans will know that picking up regular wickets is the way to go. 95/3

24.5 OUT! HE'S GONE! Lasith Malinga has dismissed the veteran Shoaib Malik. This is a big wicket, his experience would have really counted in this chase. Rather tame dismissal too if you look at it. It's short and angling down, Malik looks to pull but ends up gloving it behind. Dickwella moves to his left and takes a simple catch. 106 off 151 needed to win now. Dare I say, Sri Lanka are in the driver's seat here. 131/5

25.4 OUT! The change in angle has done the trick! He comes back from over the wicket, makes it go away from Imad Wasim on a shorter length and uses the angle to perfection. The left-hander is drawn into playing at it and nicks it. Dickwella collects it in his gloves and another one bites the dust for Pakistan. The game is turning on its head, 100 off 146 needed to win here. 137/6

29.5 OUT! Completely against the run of play, Fahim Ashraf has been dismissed. Quite unfortunate really. Thisara Perera bowls a fuller length delivery on off, Sarfraz drives it straight back. The bowler sticks his right hand out and gets his fingertips on it. It deflects off 'em and goes on to knock the bails over. Sri Lanka appeal as Ashraf was backing up a bit. It's referred upstairs and replays show that Fahim fails to plant his bat back in time, is run out by the narrowest of margins. He's frustrated but Sri Lanka are ecstatic. Pakistan require 75 to win in 121 deliveries. 162/7
