Pakistan grabbed a five-wicket victory over Sri Lanka on Tuesday in the crucial Super Fours match to keep hopes alive for advancing to the Asia Cup 2025 final.

Chasing a modest 134-run target on a challenging surface and testing conditions here, the Green Shirts eventually knocked the winning runs for the loss of five wickets and 12 balls to spare.

Pakistan got off to a decent start to the pursuit as their opening pair of Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman yielded 45 runs inside the batting powerplay before both fell victim to Maheesh Theekshana in the sixth over.

Farhan scored 24 off 15 deliveries with the help of two sixes and a four, while Fakhar made a 19-ball 17.
