Dilshan Madushanka to Usman Khan, out Naseem Shah Run Out!! 2 runs completed. Usman carved this low full toss to deep cover. Fielder in the deep overran and fumbled. So they decided to take extra runs. Usman thought he could keep strike with two but Naseem charged for the third despite his partner saying no. Both were at one end when the throw reached the bowler and he effected the runout but Usman had just grounded his bat inside the crease before Naseem did. Naseem Shah run out (Kamindu Mendis/Dilshan Madushanka) 1(1)

Dilshan Madushanka to Shaheen Afridi, out Lbw!! That's plumb in front. Shaheen has reviewed but he's walked off because he knows he's gone. No bat, ball-tracker says smashing base of middle and leg. From 176/1 they have slipped to 207/7. Brilliant yorker from Dilshan Madushanka. Actually just missed the mark but Shaheen moved across and missed it completely. Shaheen Afridi lbw b Dilshan Madushanka 4(2) [4s-1]

Dilshan Madushanka to Shaheen Afridi, FOUR, it's a high full toss that dipped just enough to finish under the waist. Shaheen slogged hard, got an under edge. Fielder at short fine leg dived to the right and got a hand on it but the ball still had so much momentum to get the boundary

Dilshan Madushanka to Sahibzada Farhan, out Caught by Janith Liyanage!! This is straight to extra-cover and the centurion is gone. Pakistan are not finishing well. Kamil Mishara pats Farhan on the back as he walks off. Wide full delivery, could have been put away. Farhan did middle the drive but shame he found the fielder to perfection. Great innings from Sahibzada Farhan. Sahibzada Farhan c Janith Liyanage b Dilshan Madushanka 100(60) [4s-9 6s-5]

Dasun Shanaka to Usman Khan, FOUR, Usman slogs, gets a thick edge and it escapes past short fine leg and the 200 is up now. Much needed win

Dasun Shanaka to Salman Agha, out Caught by Maheesh Theekshana!! This high. Oh Theekshana has taken a tough catch. "He's been very naughty in this tournament," said Angelo Mathews on air earlier this game. His poor catching is well recorded but he did so well to run back from cover and take a difficult catch. Low full toss, Agha slogged and sliced it high Pakistan losing momentum here. Salman Agha c Maheesh Theekshana b Dasun Shanaka 0(2)

Dasun Shanaka to Mohammad Nawaz, out Caught by Maheesh Theekshana!! Hit to extra-cover and Theekshana manages to get low and take the catch. Full ball, Nawaz tried to smash it over cover but picked out the fielder. Mohammad Nawaz c Maheesh Theekshana b Dasun Shanaka 0(1)

Dasun Shanaka to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run, two T20I hundreds for this man and both have come in this World Cup. This is his 6th T20 hundred since 2025 and what a gem Pakistan have found at the top. He jumps and pumps his fist as he celebrates the hundred with a loud roar. Clearly the best batter of the tournament. Shanaka tried to take pace off and bowl into the wicket wide of off stump, Farhan managed to slap it to long-off and he's absolutely elated. Has been a treat to watch in the modern era. Has smashed Bumrah and other top bowlers. Has gears against spin as well and he's given Pakistan a great platform today

Dushmantha Chameera to Shadab Khan, out Shadab Khan Run Out!! 1 run completed. Looks like lapse in concentration from Shadab? Or was it just that they ran on the misfield? It was a low full toss, Shadab flicked behind square. Went straight to deep backward square leg. Madushanka almost fumbled that because it spun away from him but he dived to stop the ball. Looks like a reactive call for the second run but the throw was flat to the keeper and it was an easy runout. Shadab Khan run out (Dilshan Madushanka/Kamil Mishara) 7(5) [4s-1]

Dushmantha Chameera to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, low full toss and driven down the ground. Mid-off up so Farhan is smart enough to play it straight and the ball cleared the mid-off fielder easily to the right

Dushmantha Chameera to Shadab Khan, FOUR, brilliant shot from Shadab. Chameera just missed the wide yorker, Shadab managed to get under it and squeeze it past point. The timing was so good that it almost cleared the deep backward point fence

Dushmantha Chameera to Shadab Khan, leg byes, 2 runs, full and angling in from round the wicket, Shadab moved across to flick but missed. Impact in line with leg stump but the ball pitched well outside leg. Good call from umpire Sam Nogajski

Dilshan Madushanka to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, this is quality placement. Full and around the off stump, Farhan moved across and just played the flick. Man at long-on, man at deep mid-wicket but he split them both to perfection with power and placement. Pakistan break that slow phase

Dilshan Madushanka to Khawaja Nafay, out Caught by Charith Asalanka!! This is going to the fielder. Will he take it? Yes he does. Make that 3 singles, 1 wicket in the last 4 balls for Pakistan. They got to be careful here to not lose steam. Dilshan Madushanka wanted the wide yorker, offered a slot ball that could have been put away. Khawaja Nafay tried but the 78m boundary didn't help his case and Asalanka swallowed that without having to move an inch at long-on. Came off the bottom of the bat so the timing wasn't there. Khawaja Nafay c Charith Asalanka b Dilshan Madushanka 2(3)

Dushmantha Chameera to Fakhar Zaman, out Bowled!! Finally, after 94 balls, Sri Lanka manage to break the opening stand but luck did play a role here. Chameera stuck to the wide yorker for the left-hander as well. Turned out to be a dipping low full toss that Fakhar moved across to play behind square. But he ended up smashing it onto his own stumps off the inside edge. Sahibzada Farhan gives a pat on the back to Fakhar as he walks off after a sensational innings. Fakhar is one of the best batters in this format for Pakistan and sometimes it's outrageous to see how they handle him. He's proved it on the big day again when his side needed to win big. Fakhar Zaman b Dushmantha Chameera 84(42) [4s-9 6s-4]

Dushmantha Chameera to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, he knows it's going to be full and wide so he's standing across the stumps. They have a deep cover so he's smashed this drive to the left of the man in the deep to collect four more

Dushmantha Chameera to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, this is high, fielder takes it but steps on the rope before he could release the ball. Brilliant lofted cover drive from Farhan. He was ready to get under it and smash over extra-cover because he read the bowler's mind with the plan to bowl the wide yorker. Liyanage ran to the left from long-off. Was too close to the rope when he took the catch and couldn't control the run

Dasun Shanaka to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run, that's straight to the long-off fielder and straight out of his hands. Wellalage immediately calls for attention as he has hurt his finger. What seemed to be a regulation catch was suddenly a mess because Wellalage got into an awkward position sideways when he just had to stay put or move a yard forward to collect it down his throat. Looks like he lost it in the background or the lights. Nothing going Sri Lanka's way. Farhan flat-batted this short of length delivery and escaped

Dasun Shanaka to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, uppish and just over short fine leg! For a moment Shanaka thought he could have his man but the ball just evaded the back-tracking fielder. Slower delivery, Fakhar swings and manages to clear the infield

Dasun Shanaka to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, he holds the pose after belting it down the ground. Wasn't an easy shot because Dasun Shanaka bowled that wide of the batter and took pace off but looks like Farhan read it from the hand, delayed the bat swing and smashed it straight

Janith Liyanage to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run, off-cutter bowled wide of off, Sahibzada goes deep inside the crease and biffs the drive to long-off

Janith Liyanage to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, another slower ball and this one has been sprayed well wide of off. Fakhar Zaman jumps across a long way and powers the pull with plenty off bottom hand power over square leg for a one-bounce boundary

Janith Liyanage to Fakhar Zaman, SIX, change of bowler, but no change of fortunes for Sri Lanka. Slower full delivery just outside off, Fakhar went deep inside the crease and got into great position to lap it all the way over fine leg for a maximum...

Maheesh Theekshana to Fakhar Zaman, SIX, that was a juicy full toss outside off. Fakhar Zaman smacked it off the inside half of the bat, but there's just enough power to sail over long-on for a 81-metre maximum

Dunith Wellalage to Fakhar Zaman, SIX, flat delivery in the zone outside off, Fakhar Zaman pulls flat and clears the leaping fielder at deep mid-wicket to his right. This is incredible batting from Fakhar Zaman...

Maheesh Theekshana to Fakhar Zaman, no run, appeal for a caught behind, but no dice! Fired full and wide of off, Fakhar tried to slice it on the off-side and missed? UltraEdge shows a spike and looks like there's an under edge on that. The keeper looked interested in a review, but failed to convince the bowler and the skipper...

Dunith Wellalage to Fakhar Zaman, 2 runs, full at the pads, Fakhar uses his wrists to flick it in the gap between long-on and deep mid-wicket. 100 up for Pakistan

Dunith Wellalage to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, superb timing! Sahibzada Farhan plays the latest of late cuts. Picked it from the stumps and placed it through backward point, beating the fielder at sweeper cover to his left

Maheesh Theekshana to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, excellent batting from Fakhar Zaman. He steps out, gets close to the pitch of the delivery and slaps the drive up and over extra cover. One bounce and over the ropes...

Dasun Shanaka to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, stays leg-side of the short of length delivery, advances at the last moment and smashes the cut in the gap between cover and extra cover

Dasun Shanaka to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, in the air and through the hands! Fakhar Zaman dances down the wicket and splices the cut to backward point where Theekshana ends up parrying it (got both hands) over and into the deep backward point fence...

Dasun Shanaka to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, that is a poor first ball from the Sri Lankan skipper. Short and angled down leg, Sahibzada swivels and pulls past the fielder at short fine to his left. With that stroke, Sahibzada Farhan goes past Virat Kohli to record the most number of runs in a single edition of a T20 WC

Dushmantha Chameera to Fakhar Zaman, 1 run, good length on leg stump, Fakhar chops it in front of Janith at backward point for a quick single

Dushmantha Chameera to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, Sri Lanka have been guilty of bowling too full on too many occasions so far. This was in the full zone and Sahibzada has slammed the drive in the gap between mid-off and extra cover

Dushmantha Chameera to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, in the air and over the ropes! Full ball angled in at leg stump, Sahibzada clears his front leg and lofts it straight. There was a long-on in place, but it cleared him comfortably and went for a 80-metre maximum

Maheesh Theekshana to Fakhar Zaman, SIX, oh my! That has gone out of the ground. Well, nearly! Fakhar Zaman jumped out of his crease, got under the carrom ball and smoked it for a 94-metre maximum over long-off

Maheesh Theekshana to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, drops it short and wide of off stump, Sahibzada Farhan smashes the cut off the back foot and gets it past the diving right hand of cover

Dilshan Madushanka to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, thanks for coming says Sahibzada Farhan. It was a slower ball, but the length was really full and had enough width on it. Sahibzada gets under it and clears the long-off ropes with ease. Superb timing! Usman Tariq, watching from the dug-out, tries to imitate the shot...

Dilshan Madushanka to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, down the track he goes and gets the timing he was after. Met the ball on a fuller length and carved it up and over extra cover for a one-bounce boundary

Dushmantha Chameera to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, that is how you do it. There's nothing like a well-timed punch. Sahibzada Farhan gets up on his toes and gives himself enough room in the process to punch the slower length delivery in the gap between cover and backward point

Dilshan Madushanka to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, there's the first boundary! Fakhar Zaman jumps out of his crease, meets the 136ks ball on a fuller length and heaves it off the thick inside half in the gap through mid-wicket
