Wanindu also helped team in bowling and he took down 4 Pakistan wickets in 3 overs and gave 35, he also got player of game award at end of this game.

Congratulations Sri Lanka team on winning important and by this win, this series was now tie.

What a game by Sri Lanka, such an amazing batting. The match turned to 12 over game due to hard rain early. All their batmen were not focusing on any partnership just looking for boundaries and that is it.

Somehow they scored 160 runs in 12 overs. Especially the captain Dasun Shanaka scored 34 runs in just 9 balls, this is such a wonderful power hitting by Sri Lanka ahead of T20 World Cup. The Pakistan team didn’t look good at all and were totally confused on how to go about this match.

Sri Lanka recovering nicely from early two wickets loss. After 9 overs Sri Lanka score is 102 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. If Sri Lanka keep scoring runs with this pace then they will be able to give a target of 130 runs. Due to rain match is reduced to 12 overs and on wet outfield it won't be easy for Pakistan to chase 130 runs. Just 3 overs left in Sri Lanka innings and it's on Pakistan bowlers to stop Sri Lanka from giving a challenging target of 130 runs.    

Till 5 down for 102 most of us expect hardly they will add 20 or 30 more runs, but surprinsgly due to awful bowling from Pakistan pacer shanaka the captain add a vital contribution with strike rate of 370+, which results in they have put such huge target on board which really put Pakistan batting order under huge pressure and that's why the spotlight batter even got departure effectiveless. For me Sirilankan spin department especially hasaranga played a huge role to level the series because he departure each and every player whom can be a threat to thier victory and thus Pakistan lost. But I will say it will definitely be a Pakistan win if rain didn't intrupt and they had played thier full innings of 20 overs.

Pakistan batsmen failed early to carry out a certain impact in the huge target, at the end the Pakistan team was so close to chase it down and we have seen every middle order player was putting his own effort in the game and that was so good for the World Cup preparation, if they take anything positive out of this match.

Farhan is a good player overall. We have seen him perform well in both important and unimportant games. His motive is simple that is to do a good job. However, it is part of the game, so it is not a big deal that he got out on 9, he tried to smash a couple of boundaries.

Salman Ali Agha role was crutial in this match because he made fastest runs of his career and always he was criticized that he is not a player of T20 format and luckily he played shorts which went to the back and we saw back to back boundaries by that player. He is not player of T20 format but he got opportunity and he made place in his team and I think Pak team lack good hitters because in  last two overs , 30 runs required but Pakistan hitters Could not handle the pressure of the match because Faheem Ashraf should try to hit six and he could not play good at the end . Muhammad Nawaz performance was very bad in this match because he played with strike rate which was not need of the team and team required strike rate of 300 of that player and he played with strike rate of 186 .

We saw only three Pakistani batsmen participating in the run chase while five Pakistani batters who got out were not able to make it to double figure. Salman Agha played his part very well by hitting three 6s and five boundaries. Sri Lanka have given a very high target that is not easy to chase in 12 overs but still Pakistan managed to score 146 runs in 12 overs due to good batting of Agha, Nawaz and Khawaja. The series is levelled and host team Sri Lanka must be happy to avoid a defeat at home just before the T20 world cup.

Yes, Salman has played enough well he does not play very well in every match, in this match he scored 45 runs if he had not been out, it was hoped that he could have played even good and Victory this match. Although Pakistan has played enough well in this match, but the target could not be achieved with all the batsmen and they continued to play till the end of the match and lose the match. With this victory of Sri Lanka, both the teams have equalized the series by Victory one match each. If either of them had victory the second match, they could have succeeded in this series. If the Pakistan batsmen had tried harder and harder they could have succeeded in this match. Their batsmen needed 14 runs, but they failed due to some negligence. Their batsmen lost 8 wickets due to some poor play. If they had tried good and harder they would not have lost their wickets and scored runs, this deficiency could have been filled.

A loss is a loss anyway. And in the end, the series was drawn at 1-1. If Pakistan was hoping for a nice warmup before the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup, that didn't happened. They got the worst possible start and will result in low morale within the team. Core issues persist for Pakistan. Mohammad Wasim is not able to perform at the same level as Shaheen Shah or Naseem Shah. During the 3rd match, he leaked 54 runs from his three overs. Abrar Ahmed has a lot of promise and he is young. But at the same time, he doesn't have the consistency. And also, the opening pair of Sahibzada Farhan/Saim Ayub failed once again.

It was sad end to series and everybody is still talking about how Pakistan came so close to winning that rain shortened game. You are correct in saying that Salman Ali Agha scored 45 runs in 12 balls which would have been famous game and that he must have gotten out, otherwise Pakistan would have most likely reached their goal. Although they lost by small gap of 14 runs, team failed because they lost too many wickets around middle of game, and they were unable to handle excellent bowling by Wanindu Hasaranga of Sri Lanka.
According to me, this 1-1 draw is good warning to Pakistan before T20 world cup next month, and this is sign that they should remain calm and stop losing wickets in such hurry during pressure situation. In case they are able to fix these mistakes, they will be top favorites to win trophy.

Pakistan did good effort in chasing 161 runs on 72 balls and were just 14 runs short of winning the match. Salman Agha played brilliantly but he wasn't able to find support at the other end. Pakistani opener Sahibzada Farhan who is in good form was not able to score runs in last T20 match  and got out on just 9 runs. Wanindu Hasaranga did real damage to Pakistan side by picking 4 key wickets and was also man of the match. Series ended in a draw and that's what SL needed after losing the first match.

The series is levelled and host team Sri Lanka must be happy to avoid a defeat at home just before the T20 world cup.     

While if we talk about the second opener Saim Ayub, he does not have any good past recently. Moreover, if we talk about the beginning of this game, in the early stages, he used to look for power hitting that helps Pakistan, but then he often gets out early, making around 20 to 30 runs.

Then in the search of good game he has lost his ability to play on every part of the stadium and now he is struggling to even play long innings or smash boundaries. I think he should not be a part of squad, however he is a great option for the reserve player.

Salman Ali Agha really surprised us with his magical foot work and shots. He was frequently playing at leg side as well as offside. From the first game, the question arises why he came to play on number three 

He was good at middle order, but yesterday he proved who he is. When he came, Pakistan's required run rate was up to 14 and he started his innings with one four, one six and another four. This was so wonderful game, played with the strike rate of 375. He made 45 runs in just 12 balls but still he cannot win the game for his team.

We saw match winning performance by captain of Sri Lanka International cricket team and he played aggressive batting and that was turning point for that team because if there will be 125 to 130 runs in this match, Pakistan will easily chase in this match but they made big target which was impossible for Pakistan team. Shanaka hit 5 sixes and hit 3 back to Back sixes and after that Wasim Jr took wicket but he was costly bowler in this match and that was the reason Pak team lose this match at the end. Pak team have no finisher which is required in that team and if there will be good hard hitter in this team we will see win in that kind of matches in which hard hitting is required. 30 run s were required in last two overs and Nawaz was out in second last over.

But at the same time, he doesn't have the consistency. And also, the opening pair of Sahibzada Farhan/Saim Ayub failed once again. 

The Pak players could not achieve the full target and will lose the game owing to their poor performance and obstruction. Their performance will be seen during this time because at that time there will be many strong and powerful teams and often Pak does not play against them with much better performance. If the Pakistan team plays with struggle and shows better performance in this World Cup and the way they have won some series with struggle, their performance and pressure in international games should be more for the opposing team. One should not have high hopes for Pakistan because their performance is not much stronger than Ind, Aus, if Pakistan still plays better then it will be their courage and better performance.

Sri Lanka scored 85 runs at the end of 8 overs. We saw Sri lanka's devastating batting in the last 4 overs. Sri Lanka scored 75 runs in the last 4 overs. Pakistani bowlers bowled very badly in the death overs. Sri Lanka gave a huge target of 161 runs. It is definitely very difficult for Pakistan to score 160 runs in 12 overs. If Sri Lankan bowlers can bowl controlled from the start, then Pakistan will not be able to win. But Pakistan's batsmen have the ability to win this match. Although it is very difficult. Pakistan will have to score an average of 13+ per over.

Today, the third T20I between Sri Lanka and Pakistan was played and Pakistan has already lost the match. Earlier, the second T20I was abandoned due to rain. Today too, the game was reduced to 12 overs due to bad weather. Batting first, Sri Lanka set a huge target of 160 runs in 12 overs. In that case, they lost 6 wickets. For Sri Lanka, Dasun Shanaka gave an explosive innings of 34 runs off 9 balls, while Kamil Mishara took 20 runs off 8 balls and Janith Liyanage took 22 runs off 8 balls.
When Pakistan came out to bat with a target of 161 runs in the second innings, except for Pakistani batsman Salman Ali Agha's 45 runs off 12 balls, no other batsman could bat properly. As a result, they lost by 14 runs.
With Sri Lanka winning today's match, the series is now level at 1-1.

T20 series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka was drawn 1-1 and today Sri Lanka team succeeded to beat Pakistan. Today in 3 rd T20 game, Pakistan team won toss and they got chance to take bat or bowl first and they elected field first and gave batting lineup to Sri Lanka team.  Sri Lanka team set 160 runs target in 12 overs by losing 6 wickets.

Wanindu also helped team in bowling and he took down 4 Pakistan wickets in 3 overs and gave 35, he also got player of game award at end of this game.

Congratulations Sri Lanka team on winning important and by this win, this series was now tie.

This match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka was of 12 over, which was the third t20 match.Overall Pakistan's team is better and stronger than Sri Lanka team, but in this match, Pakistan team had to lose to their team. In such a situation, Sri Lanka's team batted first and set an over of 160 runs in 12 over.Wanindu Hasaranga became the player of the match. Apart from this, all the player worked together to achieve this target. Dasun Shanaka scored 34 run which was the highest among his team players. When the batsmen of the Pakistan team started coaching this target, they were also under pressure from the bowling in the beginning, due to which they could not perform their batting well or complete this target. By the way, Sam Ayub, who plays an important role in making his team win every time, was dismissed for six runs this time, but despite this, Salman Agha led his team to victory.  They had full support but could not succeed and thus they faced failure in the third T20 match.

Everyone had predicted that Pakistan would definitely win the third match but due to rain 12 overs were scheduled and the wet field made it a little difficult for Pakistan to play the second innings and Pakistan upon close to winning and lost the match lost.Salman Ali Agha scored 45 runs off 12 balls and hit a brilliant 5 fours and 3 sixes.He gave a great performance. If the rest of the batsmen had played a little faster this match would have definitely been Pakistans.In this match both Sri Lanka bowling and batting were aggressive.Pakistan were not able to easily compete with Sri Lanka bowlers. Wahindu put Pakistan under pressure by taking important wickets.If the second match had been played the wining would have been clear but now both teams have achieved success equally.

Rain cut the game to 12 overs only and this made match to be very fast run where mistakes were counted. Although it was difficult for Pakistan because of wet ground, Sri Lanka was winner since they played with much of energy. Salman Ali Agha was great, being able to make 45 runs out of 12 balls, but did not have support of rest of the batters to win game. Big problem to Pakistan was Sri Lanka Wanindu Hasaranga who took main wickets at wrong time ruining their speed. One of main causes of loss was that Pakistan was seeming confused on whether to be safe in hitting or to strike every ball to get four or six, and Sri Lanka had used smart plan of bowling on watery field to make it hard hitting hard. This is very smart plan which helped Sri Lanka to tie series and show that they could deal with pressure of shortened game more.

Pakistan team came in pressure when they saw 160 runs on the board and we saw first match in  which Sri Lankan team made only 128 runs and Pakistan team was expecting 120 to 130 runs but Shanaka played excellent inning when it was need of the team and hit long sixes to Wasim Jr and No bowler of Pakistan was looking in good condition. Muhammad Nawaz performance should be better because Pak team need is hitter which will finish the match and Pak team lack that kind of good players and Pak team is not best to win the World cup. Sri Lanka team have to be more focus to win the World cup because they have quality players and they need to work hard to improve their skills.

If we really want to blame anyone then we should blame the bowlers of Pakistan. Their bowling performance was extremely bad. The required run rate was high. It becomes very difficult for the batsmen to chase high targets like that as there are a lot of pressures on them. The match was really exciting. I was expecting Pakistan to win the series, but it was a draw.

Yeap, it is actually visible to us that if the Pakistani bowlers had not performed so badly in the third match, then the Pakistani team would have managed to go to the third match against Sri Lanka, but there the Pakistani bowlers gave away more than 13 runs per over. This is a very high run economy in the T20 format. In this regard, the batsmen tried a little but were under pressure and due to this they went for big shots and subsequently got out continuously and wasted the ball.
Anyway, after all, Pakistan's luck was bad in this series, so the second match may have been called off due to rain, and the third match was rained out halfway through and then stopped again.

The purpose of this series was to give some sort of a warmup for the Pakistan team. And in that regard this series was a successful one. Now given the fact that Pakistan is in the same Group as India in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, the question is whether they have the capability to defeat them. A team that is struggling against weak opponents such as Sri Lanka is going to defeat India? And if they are not careful, there is a chance of losing to one of the three associate teams in the group (Namibia, Netherlands and the United States of America). In that case, they won't even qualify for the Super-8.

The first BPL match on Thursday - between Chattogram Royals and Noakhali Express - has been delayed after both teams did not arrive at the venue for the toss, which was scheduled for 12.30 pm local time. The match was supposed to begin at 1pm local time.

Cricketers' Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB) had threatened a boycott all forms of cricket - international, domestic, the BPL - unless Nazmul Islam, a BCB director, tendered his resignation. This followed disparaging comments Nazmul made against players. Nazmul, the board's finance committee chairman, had said that he believes national cricketers should be asked to return the "crores and crores of taka" that the BCB spends on them, also calling Former Bangladesh Captain Tamim Iqbal an "Indian Agent"
