In Tuesday’s crucial Asia Cup 2025 Super Fours encounter at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, Sri Lanka set a low goal of 134 runs for Pakistan.
Despite Kamindu Mendis’ half-century, the reigning champions, who were put in to bat first, managed to amass 133-8 in their allocated 20 overs.
In his first two overs, Shaheen Shah Afridi removed both openers, Kusal Mendis (zero) and Pathum Nissanka (eight), giving Sri Lanka a precarious start to their innings.
