19.6: Razaullah to Eshan Malinga, A single to end the innings! Razaullah yet again spills out a low full toss, but this time, it is way below waist height, on off. Eshan Malinga rocks back to drive it toward extra cover and gets a quick single. Sri Lanka ends up posting 182 runs on the board!

19.5: Razaullah to Dushmantha Chameera, Full, on off, shaping away. Dushmantha Chameera looks to flick it but gets the leading edge before the ball bounces off toward the left of the diving backward point for a single.

19.4: Razaullah to Dushmantha Chameera, FOUR! Not entirely from the middle of the bat, but will work for the visitors. Short of a length, outside off. Dushmantha Chameera swings his arms and gets the connection from the upper part of the bat. It loops over the mid off fielder and bounces away for four runs.

19.4: Razaullah to Eshan Malinga, NO BALL AND A BYE! A full toss from Razaullah, over waist height, outside off. Eshan Malinga fails to connect his pull. Dushmantha Chameera calls for a run and they get that successfully as the keeper misses the underarm throw to hit the stumps at the striker's end.

19.3: Razaullah to Dushmantha Chameera, Back of a length, around leg, Dushmantha Chameera pulls it to long on for one.

19.2: Razaullah to Eshan Malinga, BYE! Short of a length, angling across. Eshan Malinga rocks back and misses his pull. The keeper fumbles and the batter gets a bye.

19.1: Razaullah to Maheesh Theekshana, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Hands up in the air in delight for Razaullah as he has his maiden T20I wicket. A special moment to cherish for any bowler. A slower ball, on a length around off stump, clocked at 119.8 kph, and it climbs on Theekshana more than he expects. He goes back and across, looking to pull, but he's through the shot too early and the ball balloons into the air off the top edge. Razaullah moves a couple of steps to his right and settles under it for a simple catch. Sri Lanka are 172/8, with 5 balls remaining.

18.6: Naseem Shah to Lahiru Udara, OUT! TAKEN! Naseem gets the danger man. Fuller in length, on the stumps around middle and leg stump. Udara backs away, looking to free his arms and launch over the boundary, but fails to get the desired leverage. He miscues it off the inside half of the bat, sending an easy chance towards the long-on boundary. Hasan Nawaz ranges to his right, gets into a comfortable position, and pouches it securely.

18.5: Naseem Shah to Lahiru Udara, FOUR! Clever batting from Udara and now he gets into the 90s! Naseem Shah bends his back and offers a bumper, over off. Lahiru Udara keeps his calm and upper-cuts it over short third for a boundary.

18.4: Naseem Shah to Maheesh Theekshana, Back of a length, around off, Maheesh Theekshana dabs it to cover with soft hands and gets a single.

18.3: Naseem Shah to Dunith Wellalage, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Naseem gets his second wicket. Dunith keeps shuffling across in the crease and looks to play the scoop shot over short fine leg, but Naseem unleashes a laser-straight yorker on the stumps. Wellalage misses to connect and loses the balance, and also sees the leg stump getting uprooted. Sri Lanka are 167/6.

18.2: Naseem Shah to Lahiru Udara, Short of a length, outside off, slower one. Lahiru Udara looks to hit it away, but gets the inside edge and it rolls toward the left of the keeper. Single taken. 

18.1: Naseem Shah to Dunith Wellalage, On a length, outside off, Dunith Wellalage cuts it to deep cover for one.

18.1: Naseem Shah to Dunith Wellalage, FIVE WIDES! This has gone horribly wrong for Naseem Shah! Pitches it fuller, around the leg stump and swings it way down the leg side. Dunith Wellalage fails to connect his flick and it beats the diving keeper for a boundary.  

17.6: Abrar Ahmed to Lahiru Udara, Dot ball to end the 18th over! Flatter and much fuller, on middle. Lahiru Udara drills it back to the bowler. Abrar does well to make a stop to his left. 10 runs off the over. 19 from the last 2 for Sri Lanka.

17.5: Abrar Ahmed to Lahiru Udara, Quicker and fuller, on leg. Lahiru goes for a sweep but gets a top edge behind backward square leg for a couple of runs.

17.4: Abrar Ahmed to Lahiru Udara, FOUR! What a shot! Great awareness of the fielding placements. Slightly short of a length and outside off, Udara shuffles across his stumps and gets right inside the line. He scoops it over the top of short fine leg, and the ball runs away to the fence, beating the fielder's chase and slide.

17.3: Abrar Ahmed to Dunith Wellalage, Around off, slower through the air, on a length. Dunith Wellalage guides it wide of short third for a single.

17.2: Abrar Ahmed to Lahiru Udara, Speared in, flatter and shorter, on the pads. Udara stabs it behind backward square leg for a single.

17.1: Abrar Ahmed to Lahiru Udara, PUT DOWN! That is a very lucky escape for Lahiru Udara! Pitches on a length outside off stump, floating wide to tempt the hit. Udara presses forward with a big heave in mind, but he is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and skies it off the top edge of the bat. Abrar turns and sprints back, eyes glued to the ball, and stretches out his hands, but only gets his fingertips to it. Yet another life for Udara, and the batters scamper back for a couple.
