Sri Lanka’s batting disintegrated

Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat first, but this move proved counterproductive. The Sri Lankan batsmen were dismissed one by one in front of Pakistan’s bowling. The entire team could only manage 128 runs in 20 overs. No batsman could make a big score, and the team was unable to form partnerships. Only Janith Liyanage, who struggled for Sri Lanka, scored 41 runs.

Nawaz’s lethal bowling

Mohammad Nawaz’s bowling performance was excellent in Pakistan’s bowling. He kept the Sri Lankan batsmen under constant pressure with his sharp spin, taking three crucial wickets. The Sri Lankan batsmen were unable to play freely against Nawaz’s bowling. The fast bowlers also provided a good start, which Nawaz and the other spinners capitalized on.

Farhan’s unbeaten 80

Pakistan were set a target of 129 runs, which they chased comfortably. Opener Sam Ayub scored 20 runs, but it was Sahibzada Farhan who truly changed the course of the match. Farhan led the team to victory with an unbeaten 80 off 45 balls. His innings included six fours and five sixes. Babar Azam managed only 16 runs in this match, but Farhan’s impressive performance ensured Pakistan had no trouble.

Farhan’s stellar year in T20 cricket

Sahibzada Farhan has had an excellent performance in T20 cricket so far in 2025. He has scored 1,730 runs so far this year, including four centuries and 11 half-centuries. He has also hit 102 sixes in T20 cricket, becoming the first Pakistani player to hit more than 100 sixes in a calendar year. The 29-year-old Farhan has now become a key member of Pakistan’s T20 team and his performance is continuously improving.

With this impressive victory, Pakistan further strengthened its position in the 2025 Tri-Series.
