  "account": "Rawalpindi, Pakistan (AP) — Sahibzada Farhan's 52-ball 89 and Maaz Sadaqat's blistering 50 off just 29 balls powered Pakistan to a four-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in their first T20 match. Sri Lanka's Lahiru Udara's 91 helped them to a challenging total of 182-8. Farhan and Fakhar Zaman's explosive start in the powerplay stifled Sri Lanka's pace attack. Sadaqat scored two sixes and a four off just 4 balls, with Farhan sealing the win with a spectacular diving catch at midwicket.",
