Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, Cricket World Cup 2023 Highlights

Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafiq led Pakistan to a 6-wicket win over Sri Lanka, the highest run chase in ICC World Cup history. Both managed the game from a shaky start and even when Abdullah Shafiq got out after his century, Mohammad Rizwan took the game to the winning run and remained unbeaten on 131 runs.

Abdullah Shafiq's innings of 113 runs gave Pakistan a brilliant comeback in the game. Mohammad Rizwan is still at the crease, close to 100 and making sure the runs keep coming from the side. After Mathisha Pathirana took the wicket of Abdullah Shafiq, Saud Shakeel joined the chase.

Sri Lanka have complete control of the game and kept the bowling tight, not giving much space to the batsmen. After losing Babar Azam early, Abdullah Shafiq and Mohammad Rizwan are taking the game forward.

After giving Pakistan a huge target of 345 runs, the Sri Lankan bowlers got off to a good start when Dilshan Madushanka dismissed Pakistani opener Imamul Haq. Pakistan captain Babar Azam is at the crease and wants to play a big innings.
