Pakistan vs Sri Lanka T20I TNS 6th Complete Highlights

Pakistan Completes Clinical Chase to Win Tri-Series Final

The Pakistan T20I Tri-Series 2025 concluded with a decisive victory for the hosts, as Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka in the Final at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium to claim the championship title. Pakistan dominated the contest with a collective bowling effort followed by a composed, calculated run chase.

First Innings: Sri Lanka’s Momentum Halted

After Pakistan won the toss and elected to field, Sri Lanka managed to post a total of 138 for 8 in 20 overs (inferred final score).

Fast Start: Sri Lanka’s innings began aggressively, reaching 57 runs for the loss of just one wicket during the Powerplay. Opener Kamil Mishara was the chief run-getter, providing a superb platform.
The Brake Applied: After the strong start, the Pakistani spin duo of Mohammad Nawaz and Abrar Ahmed successfully stemmed the flow of boundaries. They, along with Saim Ayub and Salman Mirza, restricted Sri Lanka severely in the middle overs.
Mishara’s Anchor: Mishara carried the momentum longest, top-scoring with a resilient 59 runs off 47 balls. However, after his dismissal, the subsequent Sri Lankan batters struggled immensely, with Kusal Mendis (14) being the only other player to reach double digits.
Bowling Dominance: Pakistan’s attack was lethal, led by captain Shaheen Afridi and all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz, both of whom claimed three wickets each. Abrar Ahmed secured two wickets, ensuring Sri Lanka’s late collapse.

Second Innings: Pakistan’s Composed Chase

Chasing a modest target of 139 for the championship, Pakistan successfully navigated early instability to clinch the trophy.

Openers’ Contribution: Openers Sahibzada Farhan (23) and Saim Ayub (36 off 17) provided a breezy start, but Pakistan suffered a minor wobble, losing four wickets quickly.
Azam Anchors: Captain Babar Azam returned to his familiar role as the anchor of the chase, remaining unbeaten on 37 runs. His presence was crucial in stabilizing the innings after the fall of Fakhar Zaman and Salman Ali Agha.
Sri Lanka’s Fight: The Lankan bowlers fought hard to defend the small total. Pavan Rathnayake took two key wickets, while Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga maintained tight control in the middle overs. However, they lacked the runs on the board to truly challenge the hosts.
Victory Sealed: Pakistan achieved the target with relative ease, winning the match by six wickets and claiming the Pakistan T20I Tri-Series 2025 championship.
