Pallekele: Batting first, Pakistan scored 212/8 in the T20 World Cup against Sri Lanka on Saturday. Two openers Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman virtually ruled the Sri Lankan bowlers. Pakistan need to win by at least 64 runs to reach the semi-finals. As a result, Sri Lanka have to be restricted to 147 runs or less. Farhan scored a century on this day. He has also broken the precedent of Virat Kohli. Farhan got out for 100 in 60 balls with the help of 9 fours and 5 sixes.
Pakistan continued to play against Sri Lanka from the beginning. Farhan was at the forefront of the attack. In the second over, Dushmant started by hitting Chamira for a four. After that, Dasun Shanaka, Mahish Thikshana, Dunit Wellalage – he didn’t care about anyone. Kohli topped the list with a personal score of 37 runs.
Pakistan’s openers were so dominant that Sri Lanka could not take any wickets. Farhan or Fakhar, who will score the hundred first, there were speculations. But Fakhr did not get hundred. He was dismissed by Chamira for 84 runs. At that moment, Pakistan has set another precedent. They scored the most runs in the opening pair in the history of T20 World Cup. In this World Cup, New Zealand’s Tim Seifert and Finn Allen scored 175 runs in the opening pair. That precedent was broken today.
