Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by 6 runs in the first ODi 2025. This was a good all round performance by Pakistan as they bowled under tough dew conditions and were lucky to win the match under such conditions. Haris Rauf in particular bowled extremely well taking four wickets for 61 runs.
I still think under these conditions in the month of November when there is dew I think winning the toss is a big advantage as bowling under these conditions become extremely difficult. Haris Rauf made a great comeback as he was banned for two matches by ICC. Salman Agha, Hussain Talat and Muhammad Nawaz made great contributions with the bat.
In the end what I would like to say is that Sri Lanka is much tougher opposition than South Africa in Pakistan 's home conditions and will give Pakistan a tough time for the remaining two matches in the ODI series.
