Pakistan lost against Sri Lanka in a match that fluctuated till the final overs of the other team's innings. Throughout their 172-run chase, Sri Lanka made it difficult for Pakistan to score, and they tightened the screws in the final four overs. Wanindu Hasaranga, who had earlier hit a 21-ball 36 to help Bhanuka Rajapaksa and the Sri Lankan innings get back on track, got three wickets on his own in the 17th over to all but end the Pakistani effort.

Earlier, Rajapaksa absolutely turned the tables on Pakistan with an unbeaten 45-ball 71. Even though Sri Lanka was only at 67/5 after the first 10 overs, they eventually scored 170/6.
