00:00A very, very good afternoon.
00:12We are back at the Rabalpindi Cricket Stadium for the second ODI of this Bank Alphalat series.
00:19It is Pakistan versus Sri Lanka.
00:22Toss happened a little while earlier and the Pakistan captain, in fact, standing in captain,
00:26winning the toss, having no hesitation in bowling first.
00:30And that's a look at the Sri Lankan side.
00:32Just one change, Ramoth Madhushan in for a rather off-color.
00:37Mahais, Dikshan, that is the only change.
00:40Yeah, Pakistan made two changes.
00:42Abrar comes in and Vaseem Jr. also walks into the side in place of Fahim Ashraf and Skipper not well.
00:51A little bit of outswing for Nassim Shah.
01:05Nicely onto the bat and forced beautifully by Patum Nisankar.
01:09Lovely sound of that leather hitting the willow and it rests away to the boundary.
01:19Short and wide.
01:20Now don't give batter's width.
01:22And particularly Kamil Mishara loves it because he goes very strong, square and through extra cover.
01:32Oh, very lucky, very lucky.
01:35Nishanka almost getting the inside edge onto the stumps.
01:40Did he get enough on it?
01:44Yes, he did.
01:45That will race away to four.
01:47Opening the blade at the last second.
01:52Oh, inside edge.
01:54That will run away to the boundary.
01:55That wasn't wide of the crease.
01:56That was more closer to the stumps.
01:58Oh, this is nicely worked away.
02:05Clipped away for four runs.
02:13Brilliant.
02:14Gives the ball a touch of air and deceives the batsman in the flight.
02:19Genuine edge.
02:23Is that the first wicket?
02:26Ran back for three.
02:27The throw from in the deep.
02:29And the pictures tell you the batsman might not have made it.
02:32Oh, what a throw.
02:33What a throw that was.
02:38One bounce.
02:41And he was way out of the crease.
02:44Even the dive didn't work.
02:46This is a big wicket for Pakistan.
02:48Nishanka is a capable batsman.
02:51Goes for 24.
02:54Out walks Akushal Mendes in at three.
02:58A wild swing and a miss.
03:02Rizwan asks whether Mishara dragged his foot outside the crease.
03:06Faisal Afridi is going to send this upstairs.
03:08No, but I can see the lights on the stumps.
03:14Yeah, the toes are on the line.
03:16This is top stuff from Pakistan.
03:22An excellent piece of bowling once again from Abraar.
03:25He goes for 27.
03:27It's not an easy surface for a newcomer batter.
03:30A real bad delivery from Maseem Junior onto the pads and clipped it away for four.
03:39Short, hit well.
03:45That's set up.
03:47First boundary for Samara Vikrama.
03:48This time around, he was a little short outside the off-stump.
03:55A bit more pace on it.
03:57And Mendes used that pace nicely.
04:03Gone.
04:05As we see it.
04:07That's a dolly.
04:08The short mid-wicket.
04:09Kusal Mendes.
04:11He's walking back.
04:12Just got cramped with his swing of the bat.
04:16There you go.
04:16He just had no control over the shed.
04:18And there's only man standing in the deep.
04:22And that's why you see those eyes lit up.
04:25That what has he done?
04:27Kusal Mendes.
04:28Gone for 20.
04:29He's 90 for 3.
04:32Sri Lanka's captain, Charita Salonka.
04:37This is what Sri Lanka needs frequently.
04:42That is close.
04:47That is close.
04:48Given.
04:49Asa Lanka was deceived with the flight and also the wrong arm.
04:53He was all tangled.
04:56After conferring with his partner, he has referred it.
05:00Pitching in line.
05:01Impact in line.
05:03When wickets hitting.
05:05Joycott, you can stay with your original decision about.
05:09Excellent on-field decision.
05:10And it stays with Pakistan.
05:13Goes for 6.
05:1398 for 4.
05:14And it's Janath Lianage who has arrived at the crease.
05:19He's got a job to do.
05:23That is a brilliant hit.
05:26What a shot that was.
05:27That's nicely, nicely played.
05:36Use the pace to perfection to find that boundary.
05:44Nice use of the feet.
05:45And that is a very good shot.
05:47One bounce for 4.
05:52Lovely.
05:52Bit of width.
05:54And Janath Lianage.
05:55There's always a bit more energy, Roshan.
05:58When he's out there.
05:59Upish.
06:07Hammered.
06:08And it goes all the way.
06:10Slight angle towards the pads.
06:12And Samara Vikrama.
06:13He dispatches it over the boundary.
06:18Bold.
06:19There we go.
06:20We were talking about wickets in this face.
06:23Harish Rauf.
06:25Even though he's expensive.
06:27He always does the job for you.
06:30Well, did it stay down?
06:32I think it did.
06:34That's what happened.
06:35Didn't bounce as much.
06:36And a bit of extra pace that time.
06:391.45.
06:42And wicket at a very, very important moment.
06:46I'll tell you.
06:46Pakistan was desperate for this.
06:49And Samara Vikrama after a very good start.
06:51Looking good for something big.
06:53Out for 42.
06:54Sri Lanka.
06:551.59 for 5.
06:57Coming to Mendez.
06:58Got a role to play here.
07:00Build a partnership again.
07:04Goes over the top.
07:06That's a very bold shot.
07:08One bounce, I think, for four.
07:10Coming to Mendez.
07:12Gets off the mark.
07:15Lovely.
07:16Lovely.
07:18Really, really good from coming to Mendez.
07:21He's looking to be positive.
07:26Edged.
07:26And flies through the slipcord in which was empty.
07:33Big shot.
07:34That is clubbed away.
07:37One bounce into the fence and closes the over out with the boundary.
07:43Fantastic scenes here at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
07:47A support for the home side.
07:49And more importantly for the touring side.
07:51Not a good delivery to end the over.
07:56A very friendly delivery.
08:01And Camindu Mendez pounced on that opportunity and picked up a boundary.
08:08Dropped it short.
08:10And pays the price.
08:12A half century of very measured and classy approach from the Sri Lankan campaigner.
08:23Janath Lianage brings up his 7th 50 in one day international cricket.
08:27Yeah, played with a method.
08:29Played the situation very well.
08:31Janath Lianage.
08:32He's a street smart cricketer.
08:40Watch this ball fly.
08:41Watch this ball fly all the way.
08:44Another long hop.
08:45This one goes the distance.
08:48Goes big.
08:49Huge.
08:50Oh no, in fact it's straight to the fielder.
08:53For a moment I thought he cleared the boundary.
08:56I don't think he got it from the middle of the bat.
08:59That's why that ball didn't carry to the boundary.
09:03Mendez goes for 44.
09:05It's 2.32 for 6 now.
09:08A best of 80 over a thousand runs.
09:10Strike rate of over a hundred.
09:12Saw delivery.
09:16And taken at mid-wicket.
09:18That is a soft dismissal.
09:21That break hasn't helped Lianage or Sri Lanka.
09:25That is a very, very soft dismissal.
09:28He was looking dangerous.
09:30Lianage.
09:31Again, ball hitting the higher part of the bat.
09:37And a comfortable catch.
09:38Mohamed Nawaz.
09:40Lianage gone for 54.
09:412.41 for 7.
09:48Is that going down the leg?
09:50Oh, given.
09:51That's given.
09:52There was always a chance of that being out.
09:55But he's referred it.
09:59Pitching outside off.
10:00Impact in line.
10:02In wickets.
10:03Umpires call.
10:04You're on screen.
10:05Signal now.
10:07Cons without scoring.
10:08Chameera's.
10:092.44 for 8.
10:10Pramod Madhusan is the new batter.
10:12He's in the side for Mahesh Dikshana.
10:15This is beautiful.
10:20Pure timing.
10:23Nassim Shah was searching for a yoker.
10:25Got it wrong.
10:27And got it right.
10:27Hasaranga.
10:33Goes over.
10:34Goes over.
10:34This is very high.
10:35This might be taken.
10:36Yeah.
10:37Dropped him.
10:38And would you believe it?
10:41Who dropped it?
10:42The man who took two outstanding catches in the previous game.
10:46Cannot believe it.
10:49Ball.
10:49And 4.
10:50Well done.
10:51Brilliant.
10:53Great improvisation.
10:54Not a bad ball at all.
10:58And again.
10:59Again.
11:00Clever.
11:01Always.
11:02That was always on the cards.
11:06Last ball.
11:08Full toss.
11:09Swung away on the leg side.
11:11And he is going to get a boundary.
11:13It skipped away.
11:14And turns out to be a very, very big over.
11:18He's happy.
11:19Sana Jaya Surya.
11:20And he's happy for a reason.
11:22Because he was searching for a big over.
11:24The last one.
11:25And they fetched 18 of it.
11:28288 for 8.
11:29Is a very good score.
11:31Lots of starts.
11:33Again.
11:33Vanityu Hasaranga.
11:34More than useful.
11:3537 of 26.
11:37Lienage is a top scorer.
11:38But plenty.
11:40Useful knocks and starts.
11:42At the top.
11:4220s and 40s.
11:44And Bramoth Madushan.
11:4511 of 15.
11:48Naseem Shah.
11:49Was good.
11:50Up front.
11:51But little expensive.
11:52Right at the end.
11:54RS Rauf.
11:55Again.
11:55Amongst the wicket.
11:56Picked up 3.
11:573 for Abrar.
11:571 for Vaseem Jurya.
12:00This is what Pakistan needs.
12:02They need to score at less than 6 runs and over.
12:05289 is their target.
12:08Here we go.
12:14Pakhar Zaman on strike.
12:16Bit of movement.
12:17But it's like side-ish.
12:18And they're on their way.
12:19Pakistan.
12:23Gets it.
12:25Gets it nicely.
12:26It's 4.
12:26The line is over.
12:28Probably a good line for a right-hander.
12:30Not for the left-hander.
12:32That is gone for 4.
12:38That flick didn't work this time.
12:43That'll be 4.
12:45He's finding his timing.
12:47Pakhar Zaman.
12:48Not good for Sri Lanka.
12:49Pakhar Zaman.
12:53Lovely.
12:54You don't run for those.
13:02Oh.
13:04The fielder wouldn't have mattered.
13:06He's picked that up.
13:08And it's gone for 6.
13:09Has he not seen Siam Ayoub back?
13:14You balled him in the area where he loves it.
13:20Hammered in front of square.
13:21The ball's flying to all parts.
13:25He's got such a fast hand, Siam Ayoub.
13:28Upish.
13:33But it hits hard.
13:36Siam Ayoub.
13:38Well, he's enjoying himself.
13:45You ball like that.
13:47No one's settling.
13:56Nicely played.
13:57He tossed that up.
13:58Oh, dear.
13:59It's raining.
14:00Raining boundaries here in Rawalpindi.
14:06Oh, he goes hard.
14:08They're in with a mission.
14:10And so far, it's been a very successful mission.
14:17That's in the air.
14:19And taken this time around.
14:22It looked like picking up wicket.
14:24Chameera.
14:25And he has.
14:26And look at where he's batting.
14:30He's quite a few feet down the pitch.
14:33Looking to force the pace.
14:34And hitting close to the splice and caught at mid-off.
14:41So, that's an important wicket.
14:43Siam Ayoub out for 33.
14:45Pakistan in the 10th over.
14:4777 for 1.
14:49Abirazam.
14:51What a player he is.
14:52And it will be able to hit through the line like that.
15:01100s on the board for Pakistan.
15:12Crunch.
15:12That is a Barbarazam special.
15:15What a treat for the crowd.
15:22Right.
15:23That's his 50.
15:24His 18th in his ODI career.
15:27His 4th versus Sri Lanka.
15:29And at an important time because he needed runs.
15:32In the first game, he looked a little bit out of color.
15:35But it's been very different here.
15:37And brought a smile on his face.
15:46In the air.
15:48Into the gap.
15:50And he's welcomed with a boundary.
15:52First boundary after 22 deliveries.
16:01That will help.
16:02Will certainly help.
16:08Similar result.
16:09Similar delivery.
16:10Similar result.
16:12Fakhar is a man who won't mind this.
16:19She's playing like a champion.
16:21Like Fakhar.
16:22Fakhar.
16:27Yeah.
16:2750 for Barbar.
16:30A very smooth knock.
16:32And look at the crowd.
16:34Don't they just love him?
16:36Wherever he goes, they follow him.
16:39And 50 comes at good rate.
16:45Listen to the sound of that.
16:47Into the stand here in Rawalpindi.
16:53Fakhar Zaman.
16:55Well, he's on fire.
16:56This time might not be the same.
17:02Top edge.
17:03Fielder should take this.
17:04Oh, goodness me.
17:05Oh, would you believe it.
17:06Oh, would you believe it.
17:14Wow.
17:16Moment of magic.
17:17In amongst all the chaos.
17:18In amongst all the chaos.
17:20And Janet Liannage has pulled out a blinder.
17:23This went very quickly.
17:24This went very quickly.
17:27Juliannage who was at mid-wicket.
17:31Short mid-wicket.
17:32Very quickly.
17:34Gone down and just collected with both hands.
17:38Fakhar.
17:39A well-set Fakhar gone for 78.
17:41177 for two.
17:45And out walks Mohamed Rizwan.
17:50Oh, bottom edge.
17:52Goes past leg stump.
17:54200 for Pakistan's on the board.
18:03Starts off by dishing out a pie.
18:05Which put away for four.
18:09Nice.
18:10Nice.
18:13Leaning into it is Rizwan.
18:20Great timing.
18:22From Barbara Azam.
18:23Attention to the detail.
18:25And the result was sweeter.
18:29And he goes.
18:32Not over mid-on but over mid-off.
18:35Rizwan wants to finish this in a hurry.
18:39That's in the gap.
18:43Don't worry about that.
18:46Oh, Barbara Azams into the 80s.
18:49247 for two.
18:57Thump.
18:58Into the gap.
18:59That ball is traveling.
19:01Another boundary for Barbara Azam.
19:03Pulling it from the length.
19:10This will go for four.
19:11Traveling very, very quickly.
19:16Once again, using his feet.
19:18And this time,
19:20just scooping it
19:22over mid-wicket for six.
19:23Beautiful.
19:28Beautiful.
19:28Beautiful.
19:29That is timing for you.
19:32The hundredth partnership
19:33for the third wicket.
19:35And Barbara Azam
19:36is just one stroke away
19:38from his 20th hundred.
19:41Here we go.
19:42Big moment.
19:44Long wait.
19:46There we go.
19:47That is magic.
19:51Purely magnificent.
19:54Big smile on Barbara's face.
19:57The crowds enjoyed it.
20:01Thanks to the heavens.
20:02And down he goes.
20:08Two and a half years
20:09he waited for this occasion.
20:1183 knocks he's played.
20:14Didn't get a hundred.
20:16And at last,
20:17that jinx is broken.
20:1920th hundred in ODIs.
20:24Joining great Saeed Anwar.
20:27Most hundreds for Pakistan.
20:29Pakistan.
20:29Pakistan.
20:32Swings it away on the onside.
20:37Half century for Rizwan.
20:401850.
20:42In ODI cricket for Rizwan.
20:44And third versus Sri Lanka.
20:46Let's not forget
20:46he's got a hundred as well.
20:48Very satisfying.
20:54And that's it.
20:56Pakistan.
20:58Winning the series.
21:002-0.
21:01It's a three ODI one-day series.
21:05And they won this game convincingly.
21:09They've done everything right.
21:12What they were looking for.
21:13They bowled well.
21:15They batted beautifully.
21:17Barbara Asum got his hundred.
21:19Rizwan to his 50.
21:20So, whatever they dream of.
21:23It all came right.
21:25Yeah, fittingly.
21:27Barbara Asum scoring the winning runs.
21:29But it's been a very, very good win for Pakistan.
21:33Their 15th ODI series win over Sri Lanka.
21:36And, well, interestingly.
21:38Fourth consecutive ODI series win over Sri Lanka.
21:42So, they've certainly dominated Sri Lanka in the ODI format.
21:49An ideal way to silence your critics.
21:52And Barbara Asum doing it in fine style.
21:55102 of 119 balls.
21:57Rizwan, 51 of 54.
21:59112 unfinished partnership of just 109 balls.
22:05Helping Pakistan to a very impressive 289 for 2 of just 48 overs and 2 balls.
22:12Winning by 8 wickets.
22:14And also winning the series.
22:16Two matches to nil with one game to go.
22:19Now, that's a look at the bowling.
22:21And Asita Fernando and Pramod Madhushan struggled at the top.
22:24Chamira tried really hard.
22:26And Asaranga bowled extremely well.
22:28But Pakistan took no chances with him.
22:31But it's the wickets column that's a worry for Sri Lanka.
22:34It's quite barren with just Chamira getting those two wickets.
22:39Let's take a look at where the game or how the game ended.
22:42Sri Lanka, 288 for 8.
22:44And just look at those runs.
22:4654, the top scorer.
22:4844, 42, 37.
22:50Quite a few 20s.
22:52Rauf getting 3 for 66.
22:54And Abra are getting 3 wickets.
22:56And Pakistan in reply.
22:58Consistent batting.
23:00And 102 half centuries.
23:03Just making sure that they seal the deal.
