The Shaheen Afridi-led team secured a 37-run victory over Sri Lanka in the first ODI of the ongoing tri-series. Sri Lanka needed 58 runs from 48 balls with five wickets in hand. However, the dismissals of Janith Liyanage and Dasun Shanaka shifted the momentum back in Pakistan’s favour.
Television cameras captured Gary Kirsten looking frustrated in the Sri Lankan dressing room after Dasun Shanaka’s dismissal. The head coach gestured towards his head with his hands, likely questioning the batter’s shot selection at a crucial stage of the chase.

Eshan Malinga continued to trouble Pakistan’s batters, but Salman Ali Agha and Hasan Nawaz rebuilt the innings with a 97-run partnership for the fifth wicket. Agha led the recovery with a counter-attacking 107 off 90 balls, helping Pakistan recover from regular wickets and post 305 all out in 49.5 overs.
Pavan Rathnayake and Janith Liyanage Nearly Pull Off the Chase
Sri Lanka began cautiously and reached 42/1 in the first 10 overs. Kusal Mendis fell for 18, while Shaheen dismissed Kamindu Mendis for 44 and Sahan Arachchige to reduce the visitors to 91/4.
Faheem Ashraf broke the partnership by dismissing Rathnayake, and Haris Rauf removed Liyanage soon after. Shaheen then dismissed Dasun Shanaka before Rauf bowled Asitha Fernando to end the innings. Sri Lanka were all out for 268 in 48.1 overs, falling 37 runs short.
“I think we have to play, you know, a little bit positive in the powerplay. Their guys batted really well, then I think runs is enough. Our bowlers were bowling really well in last 10 overs. Bowling unit did really well. I think, I took a little bit more balls in the powerplay, dot balls, that's why we are struggling in the powerplay a little bit.”
