00:00Fights are good.
00:12And goes for more.
00:14Unbelievable timing.
00:16All of this man, they're all in my side.
00:30Welcome to Rawalpindi, KFC presents Vigotel Mobile Tri-Nation Series 2025 and it is the final, Pakistan vs Sri Lanka.
00:42Pakistan winning the toss and it was Salman Aliaga who had no hesitation in bowling first.
00:50Sri Lanka, there is no change in their 11.
00:54It will arrive on Asanka and the top order to get them off to a start, get them around Asanka, a big player.
01:01Normally Sri Lanka do turn up in finals.
01:05Pakistan with just one change, Shahin Shahfri the back fit and he comes into the 11.
01:11That's a huge boost to that fast bowling line-up experience and especially with the new ball.
01:17Otherwise, his familiar faces, Swam Tariq doesn't get a game.
01:24A shot of a length and it's just guided down to third.
01:35That ball, that good bounce on it.
01:40Slow again this time, full pitched.
01:43So driven through the offside, first boundary of the innings.
01:47And shot Paul pulled away and pulled away extremely well, way in front of square and that's a boundary to end the second.
02:02Oh, he's hit that and he's hit that beautifully.
02:08That has gone, sailed away for a maximum.
02:12Shot of a man in form.
02:17Ball aim!
02:18The slow one from Shahin Shahfri the.
02:21Tayson last time disappeared.
02:23This time he hits the subs.
02:26A wonderful riposte from the champion that is Shahin Shahfri.
02:31He says, how about you go again?
02:35He tries.
02:36The ball not there at all.
02:39It's not arrived.
02:40And it crashes into the stumps.
02:44Finger aloft.
02:45Because he has the last laugh.
02:48Patum Nisanka gone bold.
02:51It's 20 for one.
02:52So Salmendez walks in at number three.
02:59Hits it leg side.
03:00The timing is good and the distance even better.
03:04Drags it leg side.
03:06But it goes all the way.
03:09This one is hit down the ground.
03:11Pitched up.
03:12And that has been beautifully hit.
03:14Just think back to the one he gets full from Salman and he tries to hit the cover off it.
03:20Contrast it with this shot.
03:22Big shot straight down the ground as it made it over the rope.
03:28It's gone all the way for six.
03:30Now this is superb batting.
03:32We're talking about a guy who's hitting them so cleanly.
03:37Slash over the infield for another boundary I think.
03:41So once again an example of how quickly he picks up the link just like that man.
03:49On the pads that goes.
03:52Away from keeper's dive.
03:55And given as four leg buys.
04:01Oh that's gone.
04:02That's smack out of the middle of the bat for six.
04:07First boundary in six overs and it was a smack.
04:10Lovely touch.
04:18Very good timing as well.
04:20And the couple of runs will ensure.
04:22Kamil Mishara brings up another milestone.
04:25Back to back half centuries in the T20 format.
04:28And the third one in his career so far.
04:31It's been a treat to watch.
04:32Pressure runs appreciated by his teammates and the whole change room.
04:42Straight to the man.
04:43Yes.
04:45Brilliant take by Baba Razum.
04:46Keeping it in the field of play.
04:49And a much important wicket.
04:51Pakistan have two.
04:52The break does it.
04:56How disappointing that will be for Kus Almendis.
04:59Kus Almendis uses his feet.
05:03And decides he's going to take on the long off fielder.
05:08Doesn't really get to it.
05:10And so in the end can't quite get under and hits it.
05:14He's gone for 14.
05:17Sri Lanka 84 for 2.
05:20Kavan Ratnaikha with a promotion.
05:22Comes out at number 4 for Sri Lanka.
05:27Straight down the ground.
05:29But it's all vertical.
05:31Can the fielder get this?
05:32Yes.
05:33Tremendous effort by Baba Razum.
05:36He has taken a blinder.
05:38And an important one to dismiss Kamil Mishara.
05:41The left hand right hand combination is so right hander deals with offspinner.
05:47Left hander deals with left arm orthodox.
05:51Same as Abel though.
05:54To take it away from the lefty.
05:57And also away from the right hander.
06:01Decides he's going to use his feet.
06:04Doesn't quite get to it.
06:06Baba certainly gets to that.
06:08And with the pressure having been built.
06:11Was important to take that catch.
06:13And it's the end batter.
06:15Mishara who's gone for 59.
06:18It's 98 for 3.
06:20Wealth of experience in Qasal Pereira out there at number 5.
06:24And this should be another keeper settles.
06:32Keeper takes it.
06:34This is now becoming all too easy for Pakistan.
06:38And the spinners are having their save.
06:40Abrar has won.
06:41Abrar has been tight.
06:48And needs to be.
06:51Because he's got to build on the work done by Nawaz and Saeib.
06:55And he reaps the rewards.
06:58Pereira gone for just one.
07:00Captain of Sri Lanka.
07:03Dasan Shanakha out there.
07:08Does that have the distance?
07:10I don't think so.
07:11Another one bites the dust.
07:14And it's another one.
07:15That Barbara Azim has pouched.
07:18He has been phenomenal patrolling the fence tonight.
07:20And Abrar has two.
07:24104 for five.
07:29Oh dear.
07:31Sri Lanka.
07:34Asked the question by the spinners.
07:37And so far have had no response.
07:40Not able to work them around.
07:43And in the quest to hit them for boundaries.
07:46Have popped the ball up in the air.
07:48The catching has been good.
07:503 for Baba.
07:528 for Arat Naika.
07:55Sri Lanka.
07:565 down for 104.
08:04Dropped.
08:05Salman Aliaga.
08:11Bottom edge.
08:12Ball doesn't bounce.
08:14Jeez.
08:16Sri Lanka crumbling.
08:17The innings in complete free fall.
08:22Muhammad Nawaz.
08:24Slightly quicker.
08:25But it just skids on.
08:27Stays a little bit low.
08:29The inside edge on to the stumps.
08:33Pakistan powering through.
08:37Sri Lanka have stumbled big time.
08:40Diyanaga out without scoring 105 for six.
08:53And he gets another one.
08:55Does Nawaz.
08:56Off stump.
08:57Uprooted.
08:5856 balls since the last boundary for Sri Lanka.
09:03That's almost 10 overs.
09:06Had to do something.
09:07Hasaranga.
09:08Had to break free.
09:11The overs.
09:13The delivery is remaining.
09:14Disappearing very fast.
09:17But Pakistan celebrate.
09:18As Sri Lanka's wickets keep disappearing even faster.
09:23Hasaranga gone for five.
09:24111 for seven.
09:28Slow one in the air.
09:30And taken.
09:32Fakhar Zaman.
09:34With a diving catch.
09:36The crowd erupts.
09:37As I can see the ball.
09:45Paul is touching to the floor.
09:47I thought.
09:48It was well held by.
09:50Fakhar Zaman.
09:50Who got a grab of it.
09:52He absolutely furious says.
09:54Fakhar Zaman.
09:56He plucked that away.
09:57The diving catch.
10:01Picks off.
10:02And doesn't matter.
10:03Shahid Jafridi.
10:05Celebrates even more.
10:06There you go.
10:07Fakhar Zaman.
10:08Will jump in joy.
10:13They're just appealing for it.
10:15Two slower balls.
10:17Tasun Shanaka.
10:18Misses the next as well.
10:19Trying to give himself room.
10:23Jeez.
10:23How this innings has turned.
10:25It's turned on its head.
10:2827 runs.
10:30Sri Lanka have lost seven wickets.
10:33Sri Lanka's captain.
10:34Two of seven for him.
10:36Big trouble now for the Sri Lankans.
10:38111 for eight.
10:43Tries the little tramp.
10:45And another one.
10:47He's just nicked to the keeper.
10:49Shahid Jafridi has three now.
10:52There was a woody noise.
10:56We heard it on the stump mic.
11:00Yeah.
11:00Easy decision.
11:02No point hanging around for that.
11:04Another slower one.
11:05Bears.
11:05Tikshana one.
11:07113 for nine.
11:11Picks off and another one.
11:13Pakistan.
11:14Pulls Sri Lanka out.
11:16Salman Mirza on target with another slower delivery.
11:21Tremendous comeback because at the 10th over you would have thought Sri Lanka well placed
11:27to go on and get themselves 170.
11:31But straight after the break they got a wicket and they just haven't looked back.
11:38Nine wickets have fallen for 30 runs.
11:46Eight for 16.
11:49It's just not a good read.
11:51Dushmanta Chameera the last man dismissed.
11:54For naught.
11:58Started off really well.
11:59Pathum Nishankar went for seven.
12:01But Kamil Mishara built a good partnership with Kusal Mendes.
12:05Even though he was slightly slow.
12:07It was perfect.
12:09But the moment he was dismissed.
12:10Things happened very very quickly.
12:1364 for the second wicket of 49.
12:16Sri Lanka were bossing it at that stage.
12:17finish.
12:30Jainsha freed the three wickets.
12:33Salman Mirza finished the game off.
12:36But it was Abrar, Saim and Nawaz who really put the brakes on.
12:40And two wickets.
12:42That fell so quickly.
12:44Sri Lanka had no answer.
12:47Pakistan 8, 115 to win this tri-series.
