SL 124/5 IN 17 OVERS Hasnain is back. SIX! Top edge on the pull for Shanaka but it flies over fine-leg for a maximum. OUT! Shanaka wants to go big again but only ends up hitting it high in the air. A bit of confusion as two fielders converge from long-on and long-off but Hasan Ali clings on to the ball and completes the catch. Shanaka has to go. Hasaranga comes in next. Down leg, Hasaranga doesn’t get bat on it and collect a leg-bye. FOUR! Dropped and it runs away to the boundary for four runs. A couple more next ball as Hasaranga backs away outside leg and drills the ball to deep extra cover. FOUR! That’s the game! Hasaranga cuts this behind square for a boundary.

Yorker and Nissanka whips this off the pads to fine leg for a single. Shanaka drives the next one to the cover fielder. Beaten!

DUBAI: Sri Lanka, a nation that has been craving for any bit of joy, got a big reason to celebrate on Sunday through their cricket team. Just when the country was searching for heroes, Bhanuka Rajapaksa’s masterful unbeaten 71 off 45 and Wanindu Hasaranga’s all-round show (36 off 21 & 3/27) demonstrated how one could turn adversity into opportunity as Sri Lanka walked away with the The tournament was moved out of Sri Lanka to UAE because of the prevailing political and financial crisis. On Sunday, they at least managed to restore their cricketing identity as a powerhouse from the Indian subcontinent. Known as the Lions, they were roaring again when Chamika Karunaratne knocked over Haris Rauf’s stumps off the last ball of the match. Rajapaksa came out to bat at 36/3 in the sixth over against a Pakistan pace attack that was breathing fire after Babar Azam won the toss and expectedly elected to bowl first. And when he deposited a Naseem Shah thunderbolt over the extra cover fence off the last ball of the innings, he ensured Sri Lankan bowlers had a decent total of 170/6 on the board to try the temperament of the Pakistani batting lineup. Once they found momentum, they hounded the Pakistan batting lineup like a pack of wolves sniffing the kill, fielding with their hearts on their sleeves and bowling with immaculate planning. The moment Babar fell for five flicking the ball to short fine-leg, Mohammad Rizwan flung his bat in frustration at the other end. Pakistan never recovere...

Winning captain Dasun Shanaka is then called up, and here he is for a chat: "I must thank the crowd, they were supporting us massively. And also to the fans at home, hope we made them proud. (Toss result) If I go back to IPL 2021, it was Chennai who won the final after batting first. These youngsters know conditions and situation really well. After losing five wickets, Hasaranga-Rajapaksa made a difference. Up front, Chamika and DDS batted really well too. (Chat at halfway stage) The last-ball six in the 20th over was the turnaround point. 170 is always a tricky total. (What did you tell bowlers?) It was all about nerves. I knew the youngster can always deliver. He can go wrong at the start but we have given him the trust and belief. (Loss in the first game, today the winners... what was the discussion that day?) I...

By submitting your information you agree to the UPDATE: Sri Lanka have defied the T20i form book going into this tournament, the rule of thumb that winning the toss means winning the match (in this tournament particularly) and probably common sense. They've beaten Pakistan after batting first with almost more ease than they beat Pakistan batting second in a Super 4 dead rubber match. Incredible result. Pakistan will have to go back to the drawing board in no uncertain terms because after about the 11th over of Sri Lanka's innings, they have been poor. Very, very poor. Still, they have more than enough talent in their squad to come back strongly in the Goodbyes from T3 on this tournament.
