Pakistan vs Sri Lanka , Final at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore , ODI Tri-Series in PAK, 2026 , Oct 31, 2026 Scorecard

49.6: Haris Rauf to Asitha Fernando, The batters run two, but only one run is added to the total as the umpire feels there is a short run taken by Asitha Fernando. So, Sri Lanka finish with 325/8 on the board. Full and on off, Fernando digs it out to deep cover and the batters race back for the second run, which isn't going to be counted because, while turning, Fernando didn't ground his bat inside the popping crease.

49.5: Haris Rauf to Maheesh Theekshana, Good work in the deep, and the batters only get a single. Short and angled down leg, Maheesh Theekshana moves well inside the line and hoicks it down to the right of deep backward square leg. Babar Azam cuts it off well, but Theekshana is admiring his shot and thinks he's got a boundary here but that doesn't allow him to get back for the second run.

49.4: Haris Rauf to Asitha Fernando, The batters steal a run here. Full and just outside off, Asitha Fernando makes room to go through the off side but misses. Maheesh Theekshana is already on his bike and the keeper misses the under-arm throw at the striker's end.

49.3: Haris Rauf to Maheesh Theekshana, Only a single. Maheesh tries to back away but Rauf follows him with a quick ball, bowling it back of a length and this is nudged away behind square leg for a single.

49.2: Haris Rauf to Maheesh Theekshana, A good bumper! Quick and over off and middle, at an awkward height as well. Theekshana just ducks under it.

49.1: Haris Rauf to Maheesh Theekshana, Swing and a miss! Back of a length and around off, shoots up off the deck. Maheesh Theekshana looks to pull it over mid-wicket but fails to connect.

48.6: Naseem Shah to Asitha Fernando, FOUR! Edged away, but Asitha won't mind it at all. Full ball around off, Asitha Fernando backs away and goes hard at it, getting an outside edge that goes wide of the keeper and into the deep third fence.

48.5: Naseem Shah to Maheesh Theekshana, Full and around off, pushed away into the off side for a single.

48.5: Naseem Shah to Maheesh Theekshana, Wide! Another short ball, slower and just angling down leg. Theekshana ducks under it and another wide is called.

48.5: Naseem Shah to Maheesh Theekshana, Wide! Banged in short and angled down leg.

48.4: Naseem Shah to Maheesh Theekshana, SIX! That's come out of nowhere! Pitched up around off, at a gentle pace as well. Maheesh Theekshana holds his shape well and thwacks it over long off for a biggie.

48.3: Naseem Shah to Asitha Fernando, Skiddy length, pushed through quicker over middle. Fernando chops it down towards leg slip and picks up a single.

48.2: Naseem Shah to Asitha Fernando, Another slower ball, into the deck and angled into the batter. Asitha Fernando backs away to open up the off side but fails to lay a bat on it.

48.1: Naseem Shah to Sahan Arachchige, OUT! CAUGHT! A wonderful change of pace by Naseem Shah, and Sri Lanka keep losing steam at the death, slipping from 279/3 to now 307/8. This is dug into the deck, shorter and slower, angling it across off. Sahan Arachchige has a bit too much time on his hands and eventually tries to just ramp it over short third. But, there's no pace on the ball and it gets lobbed down to short third where Faheem Ashraf takes a simple catch.

47.6: Haris Rauf to Maheesh Theekshana, Ouch! That's a nasty blow on the helmet. Haris Rauf bowls another sharp bumper, right at the batter and this one rears up off the deck. Maheesh Theekshana is unable to completely duck under it and gets hit flush on the helmet. The ball lobs down to fine leg and the batters get a couple of leg byes. Hopefully, Theekshana is fine here.

47.5: Haris Rauf to Maheesh Theekshana, Well bowled! An aggressive bumper, right at the batter, and Maheesh Theekshana has to duck under it.

47.4: Haris Rauf to Dunith Wellalage, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Good review! Rauf bangs it in shorter and over off, at an awkward height. Dunith Wellalage tries to rise up on his toes and cuts but feathers it through to Saad Baig. Edged and gone, or is it? The bowler and the keeper start celebrating, but the umpire doesn't raise his finger. Haris Rauf is absolutely certain and Shaheen Afridi reviews it. The third umpire has a look at it and finds on UltraEdge that Wellalage ran the ball off the face of the blade, and the on-field decision is overturned. Pakistan keep getting timely wickets at the death.

47.3: Haris Rauf to Sahan Arachchige, Back of a length and around off, tighter line. Arachchige backs away and mictimes the cut through the short third region for a single.
