Mohammad Amir c Danushka Gunathilaka b Isuru Udana 1 (2)
OUT! Caught. Isuru Udana to Mohammad Amir. Slower ball half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Gunathilaka. Amir holes out again this time to the man at long-off and that wicket seals and emphatic win for Sri Lanka away from home, a great start to the series, they just beat the number one T20I side in the world with a weakened team, the biggest ever win for Sri Lanka against Pakistan. A fantastic performance from every player on that Sri Lankan side, the turning point for me was the great catch from Bhanuka to dismiss Babar Azam early on, if he didn't make the catch the game would've panned out completely different.
