Pakistan and Sri Lanka are currently taking on each other in the must-win second and final Test match of the ongoing 2-match Test series. Pakistan would look forward to extending their dominance over Sri Lanka and registering a clean sweep in the ongoing series, after having won the first match by 4 wickets.
Resuming on the overnight score of 145-2, Pakistan moved past Sri Lanka’s first-innings total of 166 before a downpour forced the players off the field. Pakistan scored 33 runs during the 43 minutes of play. However, all the game was in the morning session with an early lunch taken because of heavy rain. The rain had stopped by the afternoon but the outfield was gone and resumed 15 minutes early on Wednesday.
Opener Abdullah Shaffique has reached 87 while captain Babar Azam is 28 not out in a 57-run unbroken partnership for the third wicket.
Babar Azam Smashed A Unique Shot
Meanwhile, Pakistan dismissed Sri Lanka within 48.4 overs on the opening day after the visitors opted to bat first having won the toss. Sri Lanka posted a target of 312 runs on the scoreboard.
During his stay at the crease, Babar Azam smashed an incredible shot that caught everyone’s attention. Well, the right-handed batter Babar Azam smashed Sri Lankan pacer Asitha Fernando for a unique shot. The shot came in during the last ball of the 37th ball when Fernando bowled a full-length delivery, that was outside the off-stumps. Initially, Babar tried to leave the ball but later he smashed it for a unique ball and it went across the ropes.
The video of the same has been going viral on the internet. Watch it here:
