Dilshan Madushanka to Usman Khan. Reverse Swing-Out yorker, wide outside off stump deep in crease driving, thick edge to third man for 2 runs, mis-fielded by Chameera, by Mishara. Pakistan have posted a formidable total of 212 for 8, powered by Sahibzada Farhan's brilliant 100 off 60 balls and Fakhar Zaman's explosive 84 off 42. Both smashed boundaries and sixes at lightning strike rates, however once they were out the innings faltered. Dilshan Madushanka starred with the ball, picking up 3 key wickets, while Dasun Shanaka claimed 2. Some smart run-outs from Madusanka and Kamindu Mendis added to Sri Lanka's fightback. Now, Sri Lanka face a daunting task of chasing 213, and they will need a strong start and some fireworks to keep their hopes alive in this high-stakes encounter. Perhaps more importantly Pakistan need to restrict the home side to 147 or fewer to qualify for the semi-finals.

Shaheen Afridi to Dasun Shanaka. Reverse Swing-Out yorker, wide outside off stump on the front foot Leave, Left for no runs, fielded by Khan. What a thrilling finish here at Pallekele as Pakistan clinch a nail-biting 5-run victory, but heartbreakingly, it's not enough to take them into the semi-finals. Defending 213, Pakistan were tested till the very last over as Dasun Shanaka played a sensational unbeaten 76 off 31 balls, smashing eight sixes to keep Sri Lanka in the hunt. Pavan Rathnayake's 58 also kept the chase alive, but Abrar Ahmed's brilliant spell of 3 for 23 proved decisive in pulling things back. Despite the win, Pakistan fell short of qualification, ending their campaign on a dramatic yet bittersweet note. Player of the Match goes to Sahibzada Farhan.
