🏏Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, Super Four,15th Match (A2 v B1) Abu Dhabi🏏 - Page 4

Shaheen’s opening spell (by lengths)

Full: 1/8 (15 balls)

Good: 1/6 (3 balls)

Short: 0/6 (1 ball, free-hit)

Abrar Ahmed to Karunaratne, no run, Pakistan lose a review. Top decision by the umpire. Googly and it turns in, Karunaratne sits down to sweep and is lucky that the ball bounced more, misses the bat or glove and lobs off the forearm over Haris, Agha moves to his left at slip and collects the ball. Abrar was confident.

congrats Mendis for 50

Arey rey 50 banake out Mendis, BIG WKT nahii

Shaheen Afridi to Kamindu Mendis, out Lbw!! Oh! That was close. Matter of millimeters to umpire's call and hitting. But it is a massive wicket for Pakistan with the set batter walking back with 8 balls still remaining. Full credit to Shaheen. He nails the yorker and beats Mendis for pace, the bat does not come down in time to keep it out and the ball strikes him low on the pad. The impact was around leg-stump and ball-tracking showed it to be hitting. Third wicket for Shaheen and he's been superb today.. Kamindu Mendis lbw b Shaheen Afridi 50(44) [4s-3 6s-2]

Shaheen Afridi to Kamindu Mendis, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Mendis infact, saved the SL innings from total collapse.

Pakistan are penalised for slow over-rate. They will have to bring an extra fielder inside the ring for the final over. They won't mind that much how the match has panned out.. Rauf to bowl

A perfect outing for Pakistan in the field. Shaheen set the tone in the very first over and the rest fell into place. The bowling was top notch and the fielding even better. They never allowed Sri Lanka off the hook and always kept the pressure on. Picking up 3 wickets in the powerplay helped and Hussain Talat dealt the killer blow by picking two wickets in one over. Kamindu Mendis fought a lone battle for Sri Lanka and it is his fifty that has taken them to this total. The pitch had something in it for the bowlers as the pacers and Abrar were among the wickets, but it is definitely not a 133 kind of surface. Pakistan should fancy chasing this down.

What went wrong with SL?First with Bangla now with Paki

Their batters failed in the first innings, now let us see, how their bowlers will do.

Chameera to Fakhar Zaman, no run, Sri Lanka lose a review. That was a sharp delivery from Chameera. Banged into the surface and gets it to climb, Zaman takes it on and swivels to play the pull, but the ball misses the top-edge/glove before smashing into the helmet, lobs towards cover and the fielder dives forward to collect the ball. Struck him right next to the badge on the helmet

Sri Lanka review! They are confident there was a tiny edge. Asalanka checks with the players close in before sending it upstairs. This has clocked Zaman on the helmet. But was there a top-edge or some glove? UltraEdge coming up.. Nothing. Not Out
