00:00Countdown. First ball. Batum Nisankar is on strike.
00:08He'll get a bit of movement back into the right-hander. His kitty, square leg and the deep third man.
00:19Hint of movement but Nisankar leans into it. How about that? Outfield very quick.
00:27Opening boundary and that was by no means a bad delivery.
00:36That'll be four. Look at that goal. So, so quick. A hint of width.
00:42Nisankar, the second boundary of the innings.
00:47Apish, mid-off takes it. Kamil Mishara goes.
00:51That one loop. The noise off the bat.
00:58Oh, takes it on. Square leg. Underneath it.
01:02Oh!
01:06Morbid Nawaz almost built it.
01:09Batum Nisankar is gone.
01:11Nicely played. Nicely played.
01:17That will relieve the pressure.
01:20Short and wide.
01:22And Gusal Mendis was on top of it.
01:25Good evening Amir Sohel and good evening.
01:28This time, that is a very good shot.
01:31Perfect length.
01:33Perfect length.
01:35And Dananjay De Silva found the length to his liking.
01:39And that area is open.
01:41The job.
01:43Another slow one.
01:45But it was too short.
01:47And good enough for Gusal Mendis to pick up another boundary.
01:51See what Fahim Ashraf has to be careful.
01:53That's close. That is close. And given.
02:01Has impacted the game straight away Shadab.
02:05Well, if there was no back.
02:07Impact in line.
02:09Vickers umpire's goal.
02:11Go back to on field.
02:12Umpire Chamera.
02:14He made a straight away.
02:16Was a inside edge.
02:19He's been given.
02:20Not really.
02:21But he's picked that up.
02:23And he's got hold of it.
02:24You could just tell by the sound of ball on bat.
02:26Got right underneath that.
02:28Planted that foot to the pitch of the ball.
02:30And launched it properly.
02:32Down the wicket.
02:33And he finds the man.
02:34He tips it over the boundary.
02:36Saib Zodafaran there.
02:37Would have been third in the corner.
02:39He's been given.
02:41But he's picked that up.
02:43And he's got hold of it.
02:44You can just tell by the sound of ball on bat.
02:47Got right underneath that.
02:48I just felt there was a sound there.
02:49Oh, has he?
02:50Oh, he's walking.
02:51You're right about that.
02:52There was a sound.
02:53Hit well.
02:54Down the ground.
02:56Asaranga gets a boundary for Sri Lanka.
02:57After 16 balls.
02:59Yeah, they need a few of this.
03:00Yes, we do.
03:01Hit well.
03:02Hit well.
03:03He picked his spot so, so well.
03:04Leona Gig.
03:05You hit the top of the field in the circle.
03:06Definitely hitting a gap.
03:07Because no.
03:08No.
03:09No.
03:10No.
03:11No.
03:12No.
03:13No.
03:14No.
03:15No.
03:16No.
03:17No.

03:48No.
03:49No.
03:50No.
03:51No.
03:52No.
03:53No.
03:54hit well Hussaranga he's liking it down the ground now the last third with the
04:05wickets falling he's hit that long off takes it nicely
04:10Chukka Zaman had a lot to do judge talk about playing this way
04:18oh this is nicely strong
04:22it wasn't a quickish delivery from the left on the spade in the air again but
04:30this time around from the fielder that's there flash your bat and been finding
04:39fielders one after another this time for him Ashraf takes that catch gone that's
04:48another wicket here this time is Chameera who goes to Lanka just not also in the bar
04:55plate so a different outlook to it is appealing for a court behind but the very
05:00delayed appeal from wasim jr
05:04it means that Sri Lanka have been wrapped up in 19.2 overs it was a good catch taken a
05:13faint inside edge was picked up by the bowler anyway on the pads not that's not the line to bowl you got short
05:24fine leg in the circle that's easy pickings it horribly wrong
05:32again more runs four more that's not the line to bowl became a little bit easy
05:4012 without loss
05:42oh good shot very good shot I'll tell you
05:46that's gone the distance
05:48that is an excellent shot
05:50from Syma you
05:52oh beautiful beautiful
05:56that time on the pads working the angle and he is looking good Syma you
06:02oh what a shot what a shot that is it's hit the side speed on the full that is a
06:13shot with authority again pace off and hit with tremendous power
06:20short one that's gone for six as well back-to-back they are moving very very
06:29quickly slip in just too short that is too short that's for timing and that's for
06:39that length but in the power plays John you're asking for trouble needed an effort
06:46with the ball that's for the 50s on the board they're running away with it Sri Lanka
06:55needed wickets but they're leaking runs
06:59and it's picked up as his favorite zone he favors that it's the stronger area
07:05where Syma you've scores runs and he gets yet another boundary
07:09oh he's missed it completely that no look shot has become a no look wicked
07:17that deviates ever so slightly in towards the left hander
07:33the celebrations tell you the story of how the Sri Lankans are feeling at the moment
07:38time my hoops gone for 24 59 for one Pakistan
07:45poor slightly towards that leg side
07:50ropeiness to serve
07:56another slow one but ends up as a low full toss and another boundary runs leaking here
08:02eight overs gone 76 for one he's been very prolific the Sabzada Farhan
08:09and he started to ooze with confidence
08:16there have been many a situation that they have to face including this one here where Pakistan's hitting boundaries for fun
08:28oh no this time it's taken in the deep it was a friendly full toss for a moment Salman Ali Aga thought he had everything but instead he only found the man at logon
08:45this time taken
08:49down the way getting gone he's completely missed that and what do you know
09:06you come into the attack and you've taken a wicked
09:09finished the job really well there just trying to finish it yeah
09:13Zaman really good work there done in Jaya second delivery he walks past one
09:20wow he made it look so easy very risky to be able to play that behind the square on the offside
09:31now look at that shot again
09:34saw him coming down and dropped it short but Shada was equal to task and he's played that nice and clean
09:51that's gone through that's another aspect they probably they'll revisit the fielding
09:57Pakistan bowlers really performed admirably today
10:03big shot out of squarely that should be it
10:06two needed they're coming back
10:08and safely home
10:10so Usman doing the job
10:13in the final stroke to get themselves over the line
10:16and it's been a brilliant work and a great day to open this T20 series for Pakistan
10:21all Pakistan
