Shanaka's Blast Lifts Sri Lanka to 160 in Rain-Hit T20

In a rain-affected third T20I at the Ranger Dambulla International Stadium, Sri Lanka posted a competitive 160/6 against Pakistan. Skipper Dasun Shanaka led the charge with a rapid 34 runs off just nine balls, propelling the hosts to a respectable total after the match was shortened to 12 overs due to heavy rainfall.

Despite an early setback with opener Pathum Nissanka departing without scoring, the Sri Lankan middle order displayed resilience. Contributions from Kusal Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka, and Kamil Mishara were crucial in building the score. Pakistan's Mohammad Wasim was the pick of the bowlers, claiming three wickets for 54 runs.

Sri Lanka entered this match trailing the series 0-1, having lost the opening game by six wickets. The second encounter in the series was unfortunately abandoned due to inclement weather, making this final match pivotal for the hosts.
