  "account": "Maaz Sadaqat's explosive 96 off 51 balls took Pakistan to a record-breaking 215/3 in their second T20I win over Sri Lanka. Farhan Sahibzada contributed 73 off 44 deliveries, forming a crucial 88-run partnership with Sadaqat. Pakistan's fielding allowed them to capitalize on Sri Lanka's mistakes, as the visitors dropped three catches during their innings. Mohammad Imran's three-wicket haul for just 11 runs restricted Sri Lanka to a modest 133/7. Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis blamed the team's fielding for their defeat, while Pakistan captain Farhan was optimistic about the team's progress. This victory gives Pakistan a 2-0 series lead.",
