Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Highlights | PAK beat SL by 6 Wickets!
Pakistan kicked off their T20 World Cup 2026 preparations with a clinical 6-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in Dambulla! A dominant bowling performance followed by a blistering half-century from Sahibzada Farhan ensured the Men in Green took a 1-0 lead in this vital 3-match series.

Match Summary:
Sri Lanka: 128 All Out (19.2 Overs)

Pakistan: 129/4 (16.4 Overs)

Result: Pakistan won by 6 wickets (with 20 balls to spare)

Key Highlights:
🎯 The Chase: Chasing a modest 129, Pakistan's openers Sahibzada Farhan (51 off 36) and Saim Ayub (24 off 18) came out firing. Farhan’s aggressive knock, featuring 4 fours and 2 sixes, set the tone early. Despite a few middle-order hiccups, Shadab Khan (18*) and Usman Khan (7*) remained unbeaten to guide Pakistan home comfortably in the 17th over.

🔥 The Bowling Masterclass: Earlier, Salman Ali Agha won the toss and elected to bowl. The decision paid dividends as Salman Mirza (3/18) and Abrar Ahmed (3/25) dismantled the Lankan batting lineup. Shadab Khan, making a brilliant return to the side, struck twice in his very first over to leave the hosts reeling. For Sri Lanka, only Janith Liyanage (40) offered significant resistance.

🌍 World Cup Dress Rehearsal: With the 2026 T20 World Cup starting on February 7, this series is a crucial litmus test. Since Pakistan will play their entire group stage and Super 8 matches in Sri Lanka, this victory provides the perfect acclimatization for the mega event.

Upcoming Schedule:
2nd T20I: Friday, January 9 (Dambulla)

3rd T20I: Sunday, January 11 (Dambulla)
