Posted on at


Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by 29 runs in the first T20 of the two-match series in Colombo on Thursday. After bagging the Test and ODI series, Shahid Afridi delivered well in the T20s for Pakistan as the Captain.

Umar Akmal smashed 46 off 24 balls and Sohail Tanvir grabbed three wickets as Pakistan beat top-ranked Sri Lanka by 29 runs in the first Twenty20 international in Colombo on Thursday.

Pakistan piled up 175-5 after electing to bat and then restricted the reigning World Twenty20 champions to 146-7 in the day-night match at the Premadasa stadium.

The second match will be played at the same venue on Saturday with Pakistan looking to complete a triple on the current tour, having earlier clinched the Tests 2-1 and the one-dayers 3-2.
