Pavan Rathnayake to Salman Agha
Given LBW but successfully overturned by Salman Agha! Another loose delivery, way too short, on middle. Agha backs away to force it through the off side but the ball stays low. Agha squeezes it out towards cover but Sri Lanka will feel that it is pad first. The umpire thinks so too and up goes the finger. Agha reviews and the UltraEdge confirms that the ball has not touched the pad and it has gone straight onto the bat.

Pavan Rathnayake to Fakhar Zaman
OUT! TAKEN! Pavan Rathnayake gets his second T20I wicket as well. He tosses it up, full and around off, turns it away. Fakhar Zaman goes down for the slog sweep but only manages to get a top edge. The ball goes in the air, and Dasun Shanaka at short cover settles under it to take a nice catch. Fakhar still hasn't hit a six against Sri Lanka in T20Is, and maybe that was playing in his mind with the game all but wrapped up.
