Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, 2nd ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Chameera to Fakhar Zaman, out Caught by Janith Liyanage!! Taken! Finally they hang on and Zaman's luck runs out. Fourth time is the charm for Sri Lanka. But not running off the previous ball has cost Zaman. He remained on strike and departed. Short of length delivery, Zaman does not keep the pull down and hits it low towards mid-wicket. Liyanage was one of the fielders who had dropped Zaman early in his innings and he makes amends, bends down and takes a sharp catch. That ball was travelling and Liyanage does well to hold on. The partnership is broken.. Fakhar Zaman c Janith Liyanage b Chameera 78(93) [4s-8 6s-1]
