Sadaqat, Farhan dominate SL as Pakistan win series: 2nd T20 (Rawalpindi)

Pakistan produced a dominant performance to defeat Sri Lanka by 82 runs in the second T20I, posting an imposing 215/3 before restricting the visitors to 133/7.

Maaz Sadaqat led the batting charge with a superb 96, narrowly missing out on a century, while Sahibzada Farhan contributed an aggressive 73. Their outstanding performances powered Pakistan to a formidable total and put Sri Lanka under considerable pressure.

Sadaqat and Farhan provided the foundation for Pakistan’s commanding innings, combining attacking strokeplay with excellent running between the wickets. Sri Lanka struggled to contain the pair as Pakistan maintained a high scoring rate throughout their innings, finishing with three wickets down and a total well beyond the visitors’ reach.

Sri Lanka’s chase never gathered sufficient momentum against Pakistan’s disciplined bowling attack.

Maheesh Theekshana offered some resistance with an unbeaten 32, but Mohammad Imran delivered a decisive spell, claiming three wickets for just 11 runs. Sri Lanka finished on 133/7, handing Pakistan a convincing 82-run victory and strengthening their position in the T20I series.
