SLA 1ST

OUT! Bowled. Salman Ali Mirza to Dushmantha Chameera. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed. That's it! A spectacular collapse sees Sri Lanka bowled out for a below-par total of 114. They were well set at the half-way point, having only lost one wicket, but Kusal Mendis' dismissal saw the rest of the batting order crumble. No-one else could make double figures, leaving Kamil Mishara's 59 a lone hand. Mohammad Nawaz and Shaheen Afridi took three wickets each as the Pakistan bowlers were excellent, with fine support from Abrar Ahmed. Can Sri Lanka's bowlers pull something out of the bad, or will Pakistan complete the chase to lift the trophy? Let's find out.
