00:00Fights are going, that goes for four.
00:14Unbelievable timing, over to go, they're almost there.
00:30A very, very good afternoon. We are back at the Rabalpindi Cricket Stadium for the second ODI of this Bank Alphala series. It is Pakistan versus Sri Lanka. Toss happened a little while earlier and the Pakistan captain, in fact, standing in captain, winning the toss, having no hesitation in goaling first.
00:50And that's a look at the Sri Lankan side. Just one change. Pramod Madhushan in for a rather off-color. Mahais, Dikshana, that is the only change.
01:01Yeah, Pakistan made two changes. Abraar comes in and Vaseem Jr. also walks into the side in place of Fahim Ashraf and Skipper not well.
01:11A little bit of outswing for Nassim Shah.
01:26Nicely onto the bat and forced beautifully by Pathum Nisankar.
01:30Lovely sound of that leather hitting the willow and it rests away to the boundary.
01:35Short and wide. Now, don't give batter's width and particularly Kamil Mishara loves it because he goes very strong, square and through extra cover.
01:52Oh, very lucky, very lucky Nishanka. Almost getting the inside edge onto the stumps.
02:03Did he get enough on it? Yes, he did.
02:05That will race away to four. Opening the blade at the last second.
02:12Oh, inside edge. That will run away to the boundary. That wasn't wide of the crease. That was more closer to the stumps.
02:24Oh, this is nicely worked away. Clipped away for four runs.
02:27Brilliant. Gives the ball a touch of air and deceives the batsman in the flight.
02:40Genuine edge.
02:44Is that the first wicket?
02:46Ran back for three. The throw from in the deep.
02:48And the pictures tell you the batsman might not have made it.
02:53Oh, what a throw. What a throw that was.
02:58One bounce.
03:01And he was way out of the crease.
03:04Even the dive didn't work.
03:07This is a big wicket for Pakistan.
03:09Nisanka is a capable batsman.
03:10Goes for 24.
03:14Out walks Akushal Mendes.
03:16In at three.
03:20Wild swing and a miss.
03:22Rizwan asks
03:23whether Mishara dragged his foot outside the crease.
03:26Faisal Afridi is going to send this upstairs.
03:28No, but I can see the lights on the stumps.
03:34Yeah.
03:35The toes are on the line.
03:40This is top stuff from Pakistan.
03:43An excellent piece of bowling once again from Abraar.
03:45He goes for 27.
03:47It's not an easy surface for a newcomer batter.
03:50A real bad delivery from
03:55Maseem Jr.
03:58onto the pads
03:58and clipped it away for four.
04:04Short.
04:04Hit well.
04:05That set up.
04:07First boundary for Samara Vikrama.
04:13This time around
04:14he was a little short outside the off-stump.
04:15A bit more pace on it.
04:17And Mendes used that pace nicely.
04:20Go on.
04:25As we see it.
04:27That's a dolly
04:28to short mid-wicket.
04:30Kosal Mendes.
04:31He's walking back.
04:33Just got cramped with his
04:34with his swing of the bat.
04:36There you go.
04:37He just had no control over the shed.
04:39And there's only
04:39man standing
04:41in the deep.
04:42And that's why you see those eyes lit up.
04:45That what has he done?
04:47Kosal Mendes
04:48gone for 20.
04:49He's 90 for 3.
04:50Sri Lanka's captain.
04:53Charita Salonka.
04:54And this is what
04:59Sri Lanka needs
05:00frequently.
05:06That is close.
05:07That is close.
05:08Given.
05:09Asal Mendes
05:10was deceived
05:11with the flight
05:12and also the wrong on.
05:14He was all tangled.
05:15after conferring
05:18with his partner
05:19he has referred it.
05:20Pitching in line.
05:22Impact in line.
05:23And wickets hitting.
05:25Joycott you can still
05:26view your original decision about.
05:29Excellent on-field decision
05:31and it stays with Pakistan.
05:33Goes for 6.
05:3498 for 4.
05:34And it's
05:36Janath Lianage
05:38who has arrived at the crease
05:39he's got a job to do.
05:43That is a brilliant hit.
05:46What a shot that was.
05:47That's nicely.
05:54Nicely played.
05:56Use the pace
05:57to perfection
05:59to find that boundary.
06:00Nicely to the feet.
06:06And that is a very good shot.
06:07One bounce for 4.
06:12Lovely.
06:13Bit of width.
06:14And Janath Lianage
06:15there's always a bit more
06:17energy Roshan
06:18when he's out there.
06:26Appish.
06:28Hammered.
06:29And he goes all the way.
06:31Slight angle towards the pads
06:32and Samaravikrama
06:33he dispatches it
06:35over the boundary.
06:38Balled.
06:40There we go.
06:40We were talking about
06:41wickets in this face.
06:44Harish Rauf.
06:46Even though he's expensive
06:47he always does the job for you.
06:51Well did it stay down?
06:53I think it did.
06:54That's what happened.
06:56Didn't bounce as much
06:57and a bit of extra pace
06:58that time.
06:591.45
07:00and wicket at a very
07:04very important moment
07:06I'll tell you.
07:06Pakistan was desperate for this
07:08and Samaravikrama
07:10after a very good start
07:12looking good for something big.
07:13Out for 42.
07:14to Sri Lanka.
07:151.59 for 5.
07:18Kamidu Mendes
07:18got a rule to play here
07:20build a partnership again.
07:25Goes over the top.
07:26That's a very bold shot.
07:28One bounce I think
07:29for four.
07:31Kamidu Mendes
07:31gets off the mark.
07:36Lovely.
07:37Lovely.
07:37Really, really good
07:40from Kamidu Mendes
07:41is looking to be positive.
07:46Edged
07:47and flies through
07:47the slipcord
07:48which was empty.
07:53Big shot.
07:55That is clubbed away.
07:58One bounce
07:58into the fence
07:59and closes the over
08:00out of the boundary.
08:01Fantastic scenes
08:05here at the
08:05Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
08:07Support for the home side
08:09and more importantly
08:10for the touring side.
08:14Not a good delivery
08:16to end the over.
08:17A very friendly delivery.
08:21And Kamidu Mendes
08:22pounced on that opportunity
08:23and picked up a boundary.
08:29Dropped it short.
08:31And pays the price.
08:38A half century
08:39of very measured
08:40and classy approach
08:41from the Sri Lankan campaigner.
08:44Janet Lianage
08:44brings up his 7th 50
08:46in one day
08:47international cricket.
08:48Yeah, played with a method.
08:49Played the situation
08:50very well.
08:52Janet Lianage
08:52is a street smart cricketer.
09:00Watch this ball
09:01fly.
09:02Watch this ball
09:02fly all the way.
09:04Another long hop.
09:05This one goes
09:06the distance.
09:09Of course, big.
09:10Huge.
09:11Oh, no.
09:12In fact,
09:12it's straight to the fielder.
09:13For a moment,
09:14I thought he cleared
09:15the boundary.
09:16I don't think
09:17he got it from
09:18the middle of the bat.
09:19That's why
09:20that ball
09:20didn't carry
09:22to the boundary.
09:23Mendez goes for 44.
09:25It's 232 for 6 now.
09:28A best of 80
09:29over a thousand runs.
09:31Strike rate of
09:31over a hundred.
09:34Saw delivery.
09:35And taken at mid-wicket.
09:38That is a
09:39soft dismissal.
09:41That break
09:42hasn't helped
09:44Lianage or Sri Lanka.
09:45That is a
09:46very, very
09:46soft dismissal.
09:48He was looking
09:49dangerous.
09:50Lianage.
09:51Lianage.
09:52Again,
09:53ball
09:53hitting the
09:55higher part
09:56of the bat.
09:57And a comfortable
09:58catch.
09:59Mohamed Nawaz.
10:00Lianage gone
10:01for 54.
10:02241 for 7.
10:08Is that
10:09going down
10:10the leg?
10:10Oh, given.
10:11That's given.
10:12There was always
10:13a chance
10:14of that being out
10:15but he's referred it.
10:19Pitching outside
10:20off.
10:21Impact in line
10:22in wickets.
10:23Umpire's call.
10:24You're on screen.
10:25Signal now.
10:27Cons without
10:28scoring.
10:29Chameera.
10:29It's 244 for 8.
10:31Prabhat Madhusan
10:32is the new batter.
10:32He's in the side
10:33for Mahesh Tikshana.
10:39This is beautiful.
10:41Pure timing.
10:43Nassim Shah
10:44was searching
10:45for a yoker.
10:46Got it wrong
10:46and got it right.
10:48Hasaranga.
10:48Goes over.
10:54Goes over.
10:55This is very high.
10:56This might be taken.
10:57Yeah.
10:57Dropped him.
10:59And
10:59would you believe it?
11:01Who dropped it?
11:03The man who took
11:04two outstanding
11:04catches in the
11:05previous game.
11:06Cannot believe it.
11:07ball at four.
11:10Well done.
11:12Brilliant.
11:13Great improvisation.
11:15Not a bad ball at all.
11:16And again.
11:19Again.
11:20Clever.
11:21Always.
11:22That was always
11:23on the cards.
11:27Last ball.
11:28Full toss.
11:29Swung away
11:29on the leg side.
11:31And he is
11:32going to get
11:33a boundary.
11:33Skipped away.
11:35And turns out
11:36to be a very
11:37very big over.
11:38He is happy.
11:39Sanajaya Surya.
11:41And he is happy
11:41for a reason.
11:42Because
11:42he was searching
11:44for a big over
11:44the last one
11:45and they fetched
11:4618 of it.
11:49288 for 8
11:50is a very good score.
11:52Lots of starts.
11:53Again.
11:53Vanitya Saranga
11:54more than useful.
11:5537 of 26.
11:57Lienage
11:57the top scorer.
11:59But plenty.
12:00Useful knocks
12:01and starts
12:02at the top.
12:0320s and 40s.
12:05And Pramod Madhusan
12:0611 of 15.
12:07Naseem Shah
12:09was good
12:10up front
12:11but little expensive
12:13right at the end.
12:14Aris Rauf
12:15again
12:15amongst the wicket.
12:16Picked up three.
12:17Three for Abrar.
12:18One for
12:18Vaseem Jurya.
12:21289
12:21is what Pakistan
12:23would need
12:24in their 50 overs.
12:31Here we go.
12:33Fakhar Zaman
12:34on strike.
12:35Bit of movement.
12:37But it's like
12:37side-ish
12:37and they're on
12:38their way.
12:39Pakistan
12:39gets it.
12:44Gets it nicely.
12:45It's four.
12:46The line
12:46is over.
12:47Probably
12:48a good line
12:49for the right-hander
12:49not for the left-hander.
12:51That is gone
12:56for four.
12:57That flick
12:58didn't work
12:58this time.
13:02Double-by-four.
13:05He's finding
13:05his timing.
13:06Fakhar Zaman
13:06not good
13:07for Sri Lanka.
13:12Lovely.
13:12You don't run
13:14for those.
13:21Oh.
13:23The fielder
13:23wouldn't have mattered.
13:25He's picked that up
13:26and it's gone
13:27for six.
13:29Has he not seen
13:30Sayamayou bat?
13:32You balled him
13:34in the area
13:35where he loves it.
13:39Hammered in front
13:40of square.
13:41The ball's flying
13:42to all parts.
13:45He's got such
13:45a fast hand
13:47Sayamayou.
13:51Oppish.
13:52But it hits hard.
13:55Sayamayou.
13:57Well,
13:58he's enjoying
13:58himself.
14:04You ball
14:05like that.
14:06No one
14:07settling.
14:07Nicely played.
14:16He tossed that up.
14:17Oh dear.
14:18It's raining.
14:19Raining boundaries
14:20here in Rawalpindi.
14:25Oh,
14:25he goes hard.
14:28They're in
14:28with a mission
14:29and so far
14:30it's been a very
14:31successful mission.
14:36That's in the air.
14:37And taken
14:39this time around.
14:42It looked like
14:42picking up
14:43wicket.
14:43Chameera
14:44and he has.
14:48And look
14:48at where
14:48he's batting.
14:49He's
14:49quite a few
14:51feet down
14:51the pitch
14:52looking to
14:52force the pace
14:53and
14:56hitting
14:57close to
14:58the splice
14:59and caught
14:59at mid-off.
15:01So,
15:01that's an
15:02important
15:02Vikut.
15:03Sayamayou
15:03about for
15:0333.

15:07one.
15:08Barbarazam.
15:10What a player
15:11he is.
15:15And it'll
15:16get tougher.
15:17It'll slide
15:17on and
15:18you'll be
15:18able to
15:18hit through
15:19the line
15:19like that.
15:21Hundreds
15:21on the
15:22board
15:22for Pakistan.
