Farhan, Sadaqat help Pakistan ace 183 chase to go 1-0 up
Lahiru Udara's 91 was the only bright spark in an otherwise hapless batting performance from Sri Lanka
Farhan spearheaded Pakistan to a remarkable four-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in their opening T20I match in Rawalpindi. The young captain delivered a blistering 89-ball knock, combining for 92 runs with Maaz Sadaqat to put Pakistan firmly in control of the chase. Despite Sri Lanka's spirited effort led by opener Lahiru Udara's century, Pakistan secured a 1-0 lead in the series.
Farhan's explosive innings and Sadaqat's timely partnership turned the chase into a run-fest, with Pakistan needing only three runs to win at the final stage.
