Clean bowled once again!
Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka is back in the dugout as Shadab Khan picks his first wicket of the match. Half of Sri Lankan side has been dimissed and we are yet to reach the half way mark of the innings. Rajpaksha is Sri Lanka's only hope now.

Spinners join the party, Sri Lanka lose 4th
Dhananjaya de Silva's 28-run knock comes to an end as Iftikhar Ahmed removed him to give Pakistan 4th wicket. Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka captain, are in the middle as Pakistan attack with spin from both the sides.

Tricky toss for Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a great team while chasing but they will be batting first tonight. I am putting my money on the Men In Green.
11 September 2022, 19:17 PM
Both team captains at the toss
Shanaka: Would've bowled as well. But happy to bat as it's a final. Openers have stood up. Madushanka and Mahesh have been brilliant. Good sign for World Cup. Record has been good in this tournament. Same team.
Azam: We'll bowl first. Looking forward to the match. Confidence level is high. We've played very well in this tournament. Every match we have new POTM. Shadab, Naseem back. Usman and Hasan out.

Pitch report by Sanjay Manjrekar and Wasim Akram
"This pitch has never been used before. Looks really good pitch. For batting and for bowling. With the new ball, it might swing one or two overs tops. But this pitch is one of the best in this Asia Cup. These pitches have been the best in the world."
