Sri Lanka has set a target of 134 runs in front of Pakistan while playing first. These are a do or die match for both teams. With the small target, Pakistan’s hope of going to the finals has increased, because today the winning team will remain in the race for the final. For Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi and Hussain Talat put a deadly spell, who broke the back of the Sri Lankan batting line-up. However, Kamindu Mendis’ half -century innings saved from being all out on low score.
Shaheen Afridi gave the Pakistan team an ideal start, where he took 2 wickets in an interval of 8 balls. After that Kusal Perera and Charith Asalanka had added 25 runs together and were moving towards a big partnership, but Haris Rauf dismissed Perera and ended this partnership. After that Hussain Talat walked Charith Asalanka and Dasun Shanaka on consecutive balls in the 8th over.
Kamindu Mendis saved shame
Kamindu Mendis came to batting when Sri Lanka’s 3 wickets fell for 43 runs. Wickets were falling continuously from the other end and on seeing this, 6 batsmen had returned to the pavilion by 80 runs. In such a situation, Kamindu Mendis’ innings of 50 runs saved Sri Lanka’s honor. Chamika Karunaratne may have scored only 15 runs, but due to her stay at the crease, the Sri Lankan team was able to play 20 overs.
Will Pakistan be outside?
Sri Lanka has scored a score of 133 runs on the slow pitch of Abu Dhabi. It is very important for Sri Lanka as well as Pakistan to win this match. In the fierce summer, it can prove to be a very difficult goal for Pakistani batsmen. If the Pak team is unable to achieve this goal, then it will almost be out of the Asia Cup.
Shaheen Afridi took the most wickets for Pakistan, who dismissed 3 batsmen. Haris Rauf andhusain Talat took two wickets each. Abrar Ahmed took one wicket for just 8 runs in 4 overs spell.
