After a thrilling first encounter, Pakistan and Sri Lanka gear up for the 2nd ODI with momentum firmly on the home side’s side. In the opening match, Sri Lanka dominated the run-rate for most of their innings, but crucial collapses in clusters prevented them from posting a match-winning total. Wanindu Hasaranga led the fight with a valiant fifty, yet lack of support from the other end meant Sri Lanka couldn’t build partnerships at critical stages.
Pakistan’s pace spearhead Haris Rauf turned the tide with a spectacular triple strike, dismissing Kamil Mishara, Kusal Mendis, and Nissanka in the space of ten balls, helping Pakistan seize momentum and put pressure on the middle order. While Sri Lanka tried to steady the innings with a few decent partnerships, another flurry of wickets ultimately proved costly.
Salman Agha’s masterful century, supported by Hussain Talat, made the difference for Pakistan and highlighted the importance of big partnerships in the chase. As both sides head into the 2nd ODI, Sri Lanka will aim to bat deeper and convert starts into substantial scores, while Pakistan will look to continue their winning momentum.
