Pakistan absolutely demolished Sri Lanka in the tri-series final at Rawalpindi Stadium after their bowlers choked out the visitors for just 114 runs. Mohammad Nawaz and Shaheen Shah Afridi each grabbed three wickets while the Lankan batting lineup completely collapsed, dropping nine wickets for only 30 runs after looking decent at 84-1.
Kamil Mishara smashed 59 runs for the losing side before everything went sideways, and then Pakistan cruised to victory with eight balls left on the clock. Babar Azam stayed unbeaten on 37 to seal the win after Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan got things rolling with a solid opening partnership.
Skipper Dasun Shanaka admitted his squad failed to capitalize on their early momentum, while Pakistan boss Salman Agha was hyped about wrapping up a strong two-month stretch that also saw them beat South Africa.
