Maheesh Theekshana to Sahibzada Farhan, Flatter one around off, Farhan stays back and compact, tapping it down to long on for a run.

DRINKS! It has been an incredible Powerplay for Pakistan, and that is exactly what they needed to push for a massive score. They took a couple of overs to get their eye in, but never looked back since, scoring in double-digits in the next four overs. Both Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman have made their intentions pretty clear, they will go after everything. Sri Lanka need to break this partnership quickly to get back in this game. With the field restrictions lifted and given Pakistan's struggle in the middle overs, Lanka will hope that they can pull things back in this phase. Also, Maheesh Theekshana is to bowl after the break.

Dasun Shanaka to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR MORE! Fakhar Zaman ends the Powerplay in style and Pakistan are flying at 64/0. Back of a length and outside off, enough width on offer. Fakhar comes down the pitch again and hammers it down between cover-point and extra cover for four runs.
