Lahore: Sri Lanka registered a 35-run victory over Pakistan in the second T20I at the Gaddafi Stadium here on Monday. With this victory, Sri Lanka have sealed the three-match T20I series with one match left to play. Chasing a target of 183 runs, Pakistan's Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman opened the innings for their team but failed to form a good partnership as the latter was dismissed after scoring six runs in the third over bowled by Kasun Rajitha.

In the next over, Azam (3) too was sent back to the pavilion as Nuwan Pradeep bowled him. Sarfaraz Ahmed and Ahmed Shehzad then took the field and formed a 40-run partnership. Wanindu Hasaranga came out furiously in the eighth over as he took three wickets. First, he bowled Shehzad (13) and then Umar Akmal was given LBW and on the last ball of the over, he bowled Ahmed (26). With Ahmed's dismissal, half of the Pakistani side was sent back to the pavilion when they were on just 52 runs. In an attempt to save the sinking Pakistan, Asif Ali and Imad Wasim took the field and played cautiously.
