Two runs. Hussain Talat to Maheesh Theekshana. Off cutter length ball, wide outside off stump on the front foot Slog, in the air under control to long off for 2 runs, fielded by Azam. That's it! In a thrilling conclusion Pakistan hold on to take victory and claim the first match of the series. Sri Lanka began with a solid opening stand, but Pakistan's bowlers struck back with crucial breakthroughs as a number of the top order made starts but couldn't convert into meaningful scores. Wanindu Hasaranga top-scored with a fighting 59 to keep the chase alive, but he was unable to see his side through to victory. For Pakistan, Haris Rauf starred with four wickets, while Naseem Shah and Faheem Ashraf contributed with two wickets apiece. Salman Ali Agha was named Player of the Match for his outstanding performance.
