Pak v SL (T20I) Nov. 25 Hihghlights -- Pakistan finishes off the series in style winning the only T20I by 5 wickets

ABU DHABI, UAE (Nov. 26) - Pakistan finishes the series against Sri Lanka in a great style winning the single Twenty20 International by 5 wickets after a nail-biting fight today (Fri-Sat, Nov. 25-26) here at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium Abu Dhabi.

Pakistan won the single T20I against Sri Lanka by 5 wickets

Batting first after winning the toss and opting to bat first; Sri Lanka got a flying start courtesy to some blazing batting by skipper Tillakaratne Dilshan (28) and Upul Tharanga (12). At one stage Sri Lanka was poised to post a huge total around 180 when they were 87/3 in 9.2 overs. But they lost their way afterwards due to some superb bowling by Pakistani bowlers and all the team sent back to pavilion on just 141.

Dinesh Chandimal played a sparkling knock of 56 runs off 4 balls. Pakistan’s right-arm medium pacer Aizaz Cheema claimed four wickets and three of them were in a single over when he picked up Dinesh Chandimal, Thissara Perera, and Lasith Malinga in 19th over. Umar Gul bagged the last two wickets in final over of Sri Lanka innings and Sri Lanka out for 141 with 3 balls to spare. Saeed Ajmal and Muhammad Hafeez also shared apiece each.

Chasing a relatively easy total Pakistan put themselves in a trouble when Imran Farhat (19) and Umar Akmal (0) threw their wickets for some irresponsible shot selection. Muhammad Hafeez (13) fell prey to an ill-sighted LBW decision by umpire. The TV replays show that ball was clearly going the top of middle-n-off stumps.

Shahid Afridi BOOM BOOM with 2 super sixes and make 22 runs off 15 balls while skipper Misbah-ul-Haq (48) and Asad Shafiq (33) plyed responsible innings and stabilized the innings after the quick fall of Imran Farhat and Umar Akmal.

Pakistan has already one Test series by 1-0 and ODI series by 4-1; thus finishes the tour in great style winning the lone T20I by 5 wickets.

Shahid Afridi: Man of the Match in 4th ODI against Sri Lanka

ABU DHABI, UAE (Nov. 23) – Pakistan will take on Sri Lanka in the final One Day International (ODI) of 5-match series today at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. 


Pakistan has an unassailable 3-1 lead in the one-day series with the fifth and final match to be played today (Wednesday, Nov. 23). With the last victory Pakistan has improved their ODI ranking to fifth spot.

The last match is crucial in the sense that to maintain the fifth position in international ODI ranking Pakistan have to win the last match and if Pakistan lose the match they will slip to the sixth spot.

Fourth ODI proved to be all-Afridi match as he played a brilliant innings of 75 runs and then crushed Sri Lankan batting line-up with some superb bowling. He claimed 5 wickets in this match. Only 15 players have scored more than 50 runs and claimed 5 or more wickets in the same ODI match; but Shahid Afridi is the only one who has done it twice.

The media reports suggest that Pakistan coach Mohsin Khan wanted to rest the star all rounder Shahid Afridi and few more experienced players to try few new faces for the final ODI against Sri Lanka.

On the other hand Sri Lanka will definitely try to better their final score-line by winning the final ODI against Pakistan. They will certainly come with full force to win the final match; but injured middle-order batsman Mahela Jayawardene has been ruled out of Sri Lanka's last two matches, including a Twenty20 International, against Pakistan and returned home, team manager Anura Tennekoon said on Tuesday.

Probable squads for the both teams are given below:

Pakistan squad

Misbah-ul-Haq*, Abdul Razzaq, Abdur Rehman, Aizaz Cheema, Asad Shafiq, Imran Farhat, Junaid Khan, Mohammad Hafeez, Saeed Ajmal, Sarfraz Ahmed†, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Akmal, Umar Gul, Younis Khan

Sri Lanka squad

TM Dilshan*, AD Mathews, LD Chandimal†, CRD Fernando, DPMD Jayawardene, S Randiv, FDM Karunaratne, CKB Kulasekara, SL Malinga, BMAJ Mendis, NLTC Perera, S Prasanna, KC Sangakkara†, LPC Silva, WU Tharanga, UWMBCA Welegedara
