17.6: Eshan Malinga to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX! Sent into the crowd! Drags the length back and the pace is taken off, on middle. Farhan clears the front leg and mows it over cow corner for half a dozen. 19 runs off the over, 33 off the last 2.
17.5: Eshan Malinga to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX! Just over! Malinga goes searching for the yorker, on middle. Sahibzada Farhan hangs deep in the crease and lofts it towards long off. Kamindu Mendis is not entirely on the fence and leaps to take the catch over his head with his right hand, but the ball sails over his head and drops beyond the ropes.

17.1: Razaullah to Kusal Mendis, FOUR! That will be more than enough! Sri Lanka beat Pakistan by 8 wickets in this last match of the T20I series and it's all happy faces in the Lankan dugout. Razaullah fires it fuller, just outside off. Kusal Mendis rocks back, bends his back leg, and drills it beautifully toward the left of the short cover fielder for the boundary.
