Pakistan scored 138 for five in 18 overs, thanks to an unbeaten half-century partnership between Hussain Talat and Mohammad Nawaz.
Pak Vs SL T20 : Nawaz and Talat’s Half-Century Partnership
Pak Vs SL T20 : Pakistan, who suffered defeat in the previous match against India, achieved Sri Lanka’s target of 134 runs thanks to an unbroken 58-run sixth-wicket partnership between Mohammad Nawaz (38 not out, 24 balls, three fours, three sixes) and Talat (32 not out, 30 balls, four fours). Sri Lanka’s spin duo of Maheesh Theekshana (2 for 24) and Wanindu Hasaranga (2 for 27) performed well. Sri Lanka lost wickets at regular intervals against the excellent bowling of Shaheen (3 for 28), Talat (2 for 18), and Haris Rauf (2 for 37) and could only manage 133 for eight. Leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed also bowled economically, taking one for eight in four overs.
Sri Lanka struggled to find a good partnership. Kamindu Mendis top-scored for the team with 50 runs off 44 balls, hitting two sixes and three fours. He and Chamika Karunaratne (17 not out) added 43 runs for the seventh wicket to take the team to a respectable total, the highest partnership of the innings. Apart from Kamindu, only captain Charith Asalanka (20) managed to reach 20. He bowled well but could not save Sri Lanka from defeat.
Asia Cup: After India, Pakistan continues its antics against Sri Lanka, with Abrar imitating Hasaranga
The current edition of the Asia Cup is in the news for the players’ celebrations.
In the match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka on Tuesday, a heated exchange took place between Abrar Ahmed and Wanindu Hasaranga.
The current edition of the Asia Cup is in the news for the players’ celebrations. Recently, in the Super Four match against India, Pakistani batsman Sahibzada Farhan performed a controversial “gunfire celebration.”
After this, Haris Rauf also tried to target Indian fans who were chanting for Virat Kohli. Rauf performed the “jet celebration,” to which Arshdeep Singh responded appropriately. Now, in their second Super Four match against Sri Lanka, Pakistani players have done the same.
Pak Vs SL T20 : Abrar imitated Hasaranga
Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed and Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga had a heated altercation on the field. Hasaranga was batting in good rhythm but fell victim to Abrar. Hasaranga attempted a slog sweep, but the ball went straight and hit the stumps. Abrar then imitated Hasaranga’s famous celebration style, giving him a stunning send-off. However, he couldn’t quite replicate that celebration.
Pak Vs SL T20 : Hasaranga didn’t miss the opportunity either.
Pak Vs SL T20 : The story didn’t end there. When it was Sri Lanka’s turn, Hasaranga retaliated. He first dismissed Fakhar Zaman with a brilliant one-handed catch, and then dismissed Saim Ayub and Salman Ali Agha. On all three occasions, Hasaranga celebrated in Abrar’s style. This confrontation between the two teams during the match has become a topic of discussion.
