After Sri Lanka batted, Sri Lanka lost three wickets in the power play and lost half of their batters for a total of 58. However, Bhanuka Rajapaksa hit an unbeaten 71 from 54 balls to send Sri Lanka to a strong 170 total for six in 20 overs. However, he was lucky enough to have stayed on the field for so long, having survived an LBW appeal in the last over of the power play.
Haris Rauf, who had already taken two wickets, skipped Rajapaksa on his pads in the penultimate delivery of his second.
While the umpire didn’t raise his hand, Pakistani players went for the DRS. However, the decision stood due to the umpire’s call on impact.
After the review, Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan was seen joking with the umpire on the field.
