17.6: Dushmantha Chameera to Mohammad Nawaz, SIX! DONE AND DUSTED! Another slower delivery, full and around middle, Mohammad Nawaz stays leg side of the ball, picks the change of pace, and deposits it over the leaping long on fielder for a biggie to seal the deal.

16.6: Wanindu Hasaranga to Mohammad Nawaz, At the stumps, on the fuller length, swept away to deep backward square leg for a single. 12 off the over and Pakistan need 14 runs off the last 3 overs. Also, Wanindu ends the night with impressive figures of 2/27 in his four overs, but he went a touch expensive in his last two overs. That has swung the momentum back to Pakistan's side.
- 1
16.5: Wanindu Hasaranga to Hussain Talat, Much fuller and around middle, Talat taps it off the toe end of the bat beside the pitch on the leg side and sneaks a quick single.

15.3: Charith Asalanka to Mohammad Nawaz, Massive appeal for LBW from the bowler, but the umpire shakes his head. Sri Lanka don't have any reviews. Short and around leg, Talat goes back, and looks to flick it, but gets beaten on the inside edge and gets rapped on the back thigh. Meanwhile, Hussain Talat wants a quick single but is sent back, and the keeper dislodges the bails at the batting end, where Talat makes a dive to save himself. It is referred upstairs, but Talat is well in with a dive and sliding his bat just in time, as shown in the replays. Oh, the replays show that it would have been an umpire's call with the ball clipping the leg stump.

19.6: Haris Rauf to Chamika Karunaratne, A couple of runs to end the innings! Rauf sticks to the pace off option and this is on a good length, on off. Chamika Karunaratne waits deep in the crease but does not quite get hold of it as he hoicks across the line. Gets it to the right of deep mid-wicket. There is a slight misfield in the deep and Chamika is keen for the third run but Maheesh isn't. A brace on the final ball results in Sri Lanka ending with 133 on the board!
- 0
19.5: Haris Rauf to Maheesh Theekshana, Bye sneaked through! Pace off by Haris, fuller in length, outside off. Maheesh Theekshana has a swing at it but is deceived by the slowness of the delivery. Fails to connect but Maheesh gets called through for a bye by his partner. The keeper, Mohammad Haris collects and rolls an underarm throw at the batting end. He hits and it is sent upstairs. The replays show that Chamika Karunaratne is home.
- 0
19.4: Haris Rauf to Dushmantha Chameera, 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.

19.2: Haris Rauf to Chamika Karunaratne, Sneaked through and it has rapped Chamika Karunaratne on the pads! Haris Rauf is up for an appeal for LBW, but it is turned down. Salman Agha reluctantly takes the review. Bowled with an upright seam, honing in at the stumps, full in length. Chamika clears the front leg out of the way and has a swipe across the line. The ball hits the back pad and rolls in front of short fine leg, but the batters do not run. The UltraEdge shows a spike when the ball is next to the bat, confirming an inside edge.
- 4
19.1: Haris Rauf to Chamika Karunaratne, FOUR! Off the edge but they all count! Off-pace delivery, on a length, outside off. Chamika Karunaratne swings hard to go big on the leg side. Gets an outside edge that sails over short third for a boundary.

18.6: Shaheen Afridi to Chamika Karunaratne, Attacking the stumps, at 141.4 kph, Chamika Karunaratne hits it firmly in front of mid off and is quick to set off for the run. The mid off fielder collects and fires in a throw on the bounce to the bowling end. Afridi gets up to the stumps but fails to gather the ball. Breaks the stumps without having the ball in his hand. Chamika was in anyway.

18.4: Shaheen Afridi to Kamindu Mendis, 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.
- 2
18.3: Shaheen Afridi to Kamindu Mendis, FIFTY FOR KAMINDU! A fighting knock from Mendis. His side needs him to bat through and deliver a strong finish. Shaheen takes pace off and goes into the surface, over middle. Mendis swings across the line and does not quite get hold of it. Gets more height than the distance, but the ball drops away from the deep mid-wicket fielder to his left. With this brace, Mendis reaches his 3rd half-century in T20Is.
- 1WD
18.3: Shaheen Afridi to Kamindu Mendis, Wide! Attempts the wide yorker and gets the length correct but not the line. Wide given as this goes beyond the tramline on the off side.
- 0

17.2: Faheem Ashraf to Chamika Karunaratne, FOUR! Picks the gap nicely! Faheem sticks to the wide line on off, on a back of a length.

Slaps it all along the ground between deep backward point and deep cover for a boundary.
- 0
17.1: Faheem Ashraf to Chamika Karunaratne, Chamika shows his cards early as he gives the bowler the charge. Faheem spots it and pushes the ball near the tramline on off.
