Pakistan vs Sri Lanka First test Day two 2026

 

Well Pakistan have the upper hand in this test match and they are in the ascendancy. Five Batsmen scored fifties for Pakistan to ensure they score a healthy total of 434 runs which is a good first innings score on this pitch as Pakistan were put into bat first by Sri Lanka. 

Pakistan will need to get the wicket of Kamindu Mendis as early as possible as he is capable of taking Sri Lanka to safety in this test match. He is the only thorn for Pakistan in their bowling line up. Saqib Khan is looking very impressive on debut as he has a good outswinger going on to bamboozle the opposition batsmen. Both Mohammad Abbas and Saqib Khan are the key to Pakistan's success in this test match.

In the end what I would like to say is that this test match is looking to end in a draw as we are losing 23 to 24 overs in a days play to bad light.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka first test day one 2026

 

Pakistan debutants impressed me a lot during Pakistan and Sri Lanka first test day one at Rawalpindi. The opener Tayyab Arif and Mohammad Taha impressed me with their technique and temperament on debut. Both of them have a bright future ahead of them. 

The match is evenly poised at the moment with Pakistan at 281 for 5 and if Pakistan go onto score a total of 400 runs on this green top of a pitch then they should be able to take the lead and put Sri Lanka under pressure.

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistani batsmen put on a team effort to find themselves in a healthy position on this sporting pitch which has a lot in it for the pacemen.

Pakistan vs Sri lanka first test 2026

 

Pakistan and Sri Lanka have even chances of winning the test series with Pakistan having slight advantage as they are playing in home conditions. In batting Pakistan have the ever dependable skipper Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel and Salman Ali Agha. In bowling they have Aamir Jamal, Mohammad Abbas and Razaullah as pacemen and in spin department they have the all rounders Arafat Minhas and Salman Ali Agha.

Sri Lanka's batting is strong but they have a weakness in bowling with Prabath Jayasuriya being the only useful and penetrative bowler. Pakistan must prepare sporting pitches and not big turners as this strategy of theirs has back fired in the past.

In the end what I would like to say is that I hope the Rawalpindi pitch produces a result.

Pakistan lift the Tri nation Series 2026

 

Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by 3 wickets in a closely fought final of the tri nation series also involving England. Fakhar Zaman once again proved himself to be a big match player by scoring a century in the final and by leading the run chase of 326 runs mammoth target set by Sri Lanka.

Pakistan were lucky in the Final that they won the toss and batted second at night when dew falls. The dew made Sri Lankan bowlers ineffective as they werent able to grip the ball properly especially Madushanka their main bowler neutralized by the heavy dew that fell in the Final. Arafat Minhas is probably the best find of the tri nation series as an all rounder as he once again played a gem of an innings to guide Pakistan's run chase which at one time was faltering at 230 for 5. 

In the end what I will like to say that Pakistan were the most consistent team in the Tri nation Series and truly deserve to lift the Trophy. 

Pakistan thrashed by Sri Lanka in their last league match tri nation series 2026

 

Pakistan were humbled by Sri Lanka in their last league match by 8 wickets scoring a paltry 110 runs in this match. This defeat means that Pakistan are the massive underdogs for the final with Sri Lanka favourites to win the tri nation series after their performance in this match.

Pakistan seemed to be clueless to Sri Lankan pace bowling especially Madhushanka who took five wickets. With this hapless batting performance I have little hope from their batting. Fakhar Zaman is continuously failing at the top order and he doesn't provide Pakistan with the good opening starts which Pakistan badly need.

In the end what I would like to say is that in the final Sahibzada Farhan should replace Fakhar Zaman to open with Maaz Sadaqat as Pakistan badly need inform openers to provide them with good starts.

Shadab khan leads Pakistan to the Final of Tri Nation series 2026

 

Shadab Khan single handedly led Pakistan to a thrilling and sensational one wicket victory over England in their third consecutive win in the tri nation series. Pakistan's top order again failed and their upper middle order with the exception of Saad Baig also did nothing. Then Shadab Khan rescued Pakistan alongwith Haris Rauf who scored 7 off 19 balls with a 89 run partnership for the last wicket.

Our bowlers led by Shaheen Afridi did well to restrict England to a low score of 241 runs and Shaheen Afridi was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets to his name. On the otherhand Shaheen Afridi who is captain of Pakistan team should have gone for the kill when Ben Duckett and Sam Curran were having a good partnership and should have brought Arafat Minhas much earlier in the bowling attack.

In the end what I would like to say is that Saim Ayub has been a complete failure at the top of the order and should be replaced by the inform Maaz Sadaqat.

Pakistan vs England Tri nation Series 2026

 

Pakistani bowlers again did an excellent job in restricting England to a total of 215 runs under tough conditions of dew in night time especially Arafat Minhas. Arafat Minhas played a perfect all round performance to single handedly hand England an 87 run defeat. 

In batting our revival begun with Babar Azam and Saad Baig's innings and then Hassan Nawaz played superbly to score 77 runs in partnership with Arafat Minhas who scored a useful 57 runs. Later on Arafat Minhas combined with Faheem Ashraf to lead Pakistan to a score of 302 runs. In Arafat Minhas Pakistan have found a match winner who is a skilful all rounder and is equally good with both bat and ball. 

In the end what I would like to say provided an extreme dent in form Pakistan should make the final of tri nation series on the back of these two comprehensive and crushing wins over Sri Lanka and England at Rawalpindi.
