7.45pm Thank you, Sidharth. Hello everyone! Walk in the park for Sri Lanka? No Shadab Khan to trouble 'em either, but Usman Qadir will want to put in a top audition before the final even though a place for him seems very hard to find in the XI if Shadab is playing. All the SL spinners went for under six an over with four wickets between them, so no reason why Qadir can't do the same. But that will come later, up top it will be Sri Lanka's batters against Pakistan's pace battery.

Dnm: "Think about the impact Wanindu had on the game. 3 wickets, 2 catches and a runout."

Dhananjaya de Silva: "We wanted to check out combinations before the big game, so that's what the team is trying out. Both the spinners are wicket-taking bowlers. All I need to do is to support them."

That's it. Just 121. Yes it is a difficult pitch, and Sri Lanka's bowling has been spot on, but the lack of intent in the first half was baffling. That is when you can get your runs really because the second half of the innings has been getting difficult here. Sreshth Shah will be with you soon with the chase.
