Salman Ali Agha made a triumphant return to the Pakistan team and delivered a stellar performance in the ODI tri-series opener against Sri Lanka at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The right-hander scored an impressive 107 off 90 balls, including 10 fours and a six, to help Pakistan post a competitive total of 305. Sri Lanka's pacers, led by Eshan Malinga, restricted Pakistan to that score with their exceptional death bowling.
Malinga, in particular, was outstanding, taking 4 wickets for 46 runs and ending the innings with figures of 4-46. The Sri Lankan pacers restricted Pakistan to 305 in their 49.5 overs, leaving the hosts short in the run chase.
