That's It! Pakistan complete a stunning chase of 345 and no praises are enough for Mohammad Rizwan. Stays unbeaten on 134 at the end. Credit also goes to Abdullah Shafique who set up the chase initially. Things didn't look good for Pakistan initially but massive recovery from them. This will be extremely confidence boosting for Pakistan going forward.

Out! Saud Shakeel tries to go inside out put fails to reach the pitch and miscues the shot losing his wicket to Maheesh Theekshana. Important breakthrough for India to have at any chance at all.

Century! Third ODI ton for Mohammad Rizwan's career and it has come at a very very important time. He is keeping Pakistan alive and in control of the chase. On the way he scores his hundred in 97 deliveries while suffering through cramps. Will definitely want to stay till the end and finish the game. 

10 Oct, 21:10 (IST)

Out! Abdullah Shafique can't believe himself. Just completed his maiden ton and was looking to build on it. Timed the guided shot to perfection but it was just a little elevated and Dushan Hemantha jumped to his right to grab an absolute stunner. Sri Lanka back in the game.

Century! Abdullah Shafique brings up his maiden century in style and what a knock it has been from the youngster. Played exceptionally well against both pace and spin and reached his milestone in just 97 deliveries in a very dominating fashion. 

10 Oct, 20:40 (IST)

Mr. Consistent Mohammad Rizwan steps up again. He reaches his fifty with a boundary and once again ensures that all is not lost till he is at the crease. After consolidating initially, he takes the attack to the Sri Lankan batters. A lot of work still to do. 

10 Oct, 20:33 (IST)

Despite getting pushed behind in the game early, Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique stitched a steady partnership scoring at a brisk pace to make a mini-recovery and recover some lost ground. They have build a foundation to go big in the last twenty overs which remain the bigger challenge. 

10 Oct, 19:48 (IST)

After the early setbacks, Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique have tried to consolidate the innings. Their partnership has been cautious but steady. Very soon, they will have to start looking to accelerate and bring the asking rate under control. 

10 Oct, 19:05 (IST)

Out! Babar Azam Dismissed! Dilshan Madushanka gets his second strangling Babar Azam down the leg. Gets a little tickle and Sadeera Samarawickrama does no mistake. Pakistan in big trouble now. 

10 Oct, 18:51 (IST)

Out! Imam-ul-Haq falls early once again. Tries to take on a shorter one from Dilshan Madushanka only to miscue it to the hands of deep fine leg. Not the best of starts for Pakistan chasing a big total and they will have to look at Babar Azam again for a rescue.

Pakistan and Sri Lanka meet again in what promises to be a contest of high stakes, in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on October 10. Not very long ago did these two teams play out an absolute thriller at the end of which Sri Lanka qualified for the final of the Asia Cup 2023. Charith Asalanka had steered Sri Lanka to a nervy two-wicket win at the R Premadasa Stadium which saw Pakistan crash out of the tournament. With memories of that match still fresh, both teams would head out to the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, aiming to notch full points from the contest. Sri Lanka had a forgettable start to their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign where their bowling attack was picked apart by South Africa at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. South Africa ended up scoring 428/5, the highest total ever recorded in ICC Cricket World Cup history and although Sri Lanka did manage to put up a spirited show with the bat, there were just too many runs on the board. Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Free Live Streaming Online: How To Watch PAK vs SL CWC Match Live Telecast on TV?

Pakistan in contrast, began their tournament with a win but one they would not be very proud of. The Green Shirts saw their top-order collapse against the Netherlands before a partnership between half-centurions Saud Shakeel and Mohammed Rizwan appeared to save the day. A late flourish saw them post a decent total and they ended up winning the game. But Pakistan would be well aware that they cannot have a similar batting performance against Sri Lanka. ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Points Table Updated.
