Pakistan vs Sri Lanka , Match 1 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi , ODI Tri-Series in PAK, 2026 , Oct 18, 2026 Scorecard

49.5: Eshan Malinga to Shaheen Afridi, OUT! RAUF IS RUN OUT! That will be that, and Pakistan end with 305 on the board. A low full toss at the stumps, Shaheen Afridi smacks it down to long on for a run, but he wants the strike and sets off for the second run which is never on. Sahan Arachchige picks up the ball and fires it in towards the bowler. Eshan Malinga collects it well and whips off the bails with Haris Rauf nowhere in sight. Pakistan are all out with one ball remaining in the innings.

49.4: Eshan Malinga to Shaheen Afridi, Excellent change-up! A sharp bumper now, over middle and leg. Shaheen Afridi is taken by surprise and is rushed on the pull as the ball sails over his blade.

49.3: Eshan Malinga to Shaheen Afridi, Through the legs! Another leg-stump yorker and Malinga gets it sot-on. This is right at the toes, and Afridi looks to whip it leg side but misses ad gets nut-megged.

49.2: Eshan Malinga to Shaheen Afridi, That's a good comeback delivery. A yorker, right at the toes. Afridi digs it out wide to the left of the bowler and opts against the single.

49.1: Eshan Malinga to Shaheen Afridi, FOUR! The skipper is on the charge. Full and straight, it ends up being a juicy full toss. Afridi stays deep and flat-bats it straight down the ground for a boundary.

48.6: Dilshan Madushanka to Haris Rauf, Bowled from around the wicket, angled in towards middle and leg. Rauf backs away and swings across the line but gets another inside edge onto the pads, and the ball rolls to the off side.

48.5: Dilshan Madushanka to Shaheen Afridi, Pitched full and around off, Shaheen Afridi stays deep and goes for the lofted shot but slices it wide of mid off for a single. 300 UP FOR PAKISTAN.

48.4: Dilshan Madushanka to Shaheen Afridi, Full and straight, landing it perfectly in the blockhole. Afridi manages to dig it out through square leg and he races back for the second run.

48.3: Dilshan Madushanka to Shaheen Afridi, FOUR! That's swung away perfectly in the gap. Full and straight, not quite yorker-length. Afridi keeps the front leg out of the way and whips it between long on and deep mid-wicket for a boundary. Also, Shaheen Afridi has called for a change of bat, not quite sure why.

48.2: Dilshan Madushanka to Shaheen Afridi, Over the wicket now, spearing it in full towards the off pole. Afridi backs away a bit and jams it firmly to mid off once again.

48.1: Dilshan Madushanka to Shaheen Afridi, Full and outside off, slanted across the left-hander from around the stumps. Afridi drills it straight to mid off.

47.6: Eshan Malinga to Haris Rauf, Malinga spears one in full and straight, Rauf backs away to swing it leg side but gets a big inside edge onto the back leg. Top over from Malinga.

47.5: Eshan Malinga to Haris Rauf, Very full and just outside off, tailing back in a bit. Haris Rauf digs it out to extra cover.

47.4: Eshan Malinga to Haris Rauf, Oh, another appeal for LBW, and again it's turned down. Kusal Mendis does review it, but this one seems more in hope. Full and straight from Malinga, slanted well into the pads. Haris Rauf gets pushed back as he tries to flick and misses, wearing it on the pads. Malinga knew that it was sliding down leg, and Ball Tracking shows the same. No Hat-trick!

47.3: Eshan Malinga to Naseem Shah, OUT! LBW! Excellent review by Sri Lanka, and that's two wickets in two balls for Eshan Malinga. Malinga pitches it up on off and middle, and gets the ball to tail back in sharply. The length isn't all that full but Naseem Shah gets pegged back and is beaten all ends up. The ball beats the inside edge and thuds into the front pad. There's a big appeal, but the umpire turns it down. It is reviewed and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds, sending Shah back for a golde duck.

47.2: Eshan Malinga to Faheem Ashraf, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! A third wicket for Eshan Malinga as well, and Pakistan are crumbling at the death, and are in danger of even falling short of the 300-run mark. Malinga goes full and wide outside off, angling it further away. Faheem Ashraf plays away from the body and ends up getting an outside edge through to the keeper. Kusal Mendis makes no mistakes with the gloves on and Pakistan are now 293/8.

47.1: Eshan Malinga to Shaheen Afridi, A slingy delivery, angled down leg, Shaheen Afridi tucks it off the pads to the right of short fine leg and picks up a single. It is given as leg byes.
