Speaking of the action of the match, only the 10 overs could be bowled on the rain-affected second day at Sinhalese Sports Club. Pakistan added 33 runs to their first day’s score of 145 runs for the loss of 2 wickets and ended the second day on the score of 178 runs for the loss of 2 wickets.
Star opener Abdullah Shafique and skipper Babar Azam were there in the middle at the time of stumps on day 2. Abdullah went unbeaten on the score of 87 runs alongside skipper Babar who was unbeaten on 28 runs.
Asitha Fernando has scalped 2 wickets so far for Sri Lanka in the first innings. Earlier on the first day of the match, the hosts Sri Lanka won the match and decided to bat first. Although this decision backfired as Pakistan bowlers bundled up them only on the score of 166 runs in 48.4 overs. Star pacer Naseem Shah and young spinner Abrar Ahmed jointly scalped a total of 7 wickets alongside one wicket picked by Shaheen Shah Afridi.
Dhananjaya de Silva was the only batter to score a half-century for Sri Lanka in the first innings; he contributed with the knocks of 57 runs with nine boundaries and a six. Other than him, senior batter Dinesh Chandimal and lower order batter Ramesh Mendis also played the individual knocks of 34 and 27 runs.
