Introduction
Suddenly everyone is talking about one name — Kamil Mishara. The young Sri Lankan opener walked into Rawalpindi like it was just another day. But it wasn’t. His knock changed the whole tri-series picture. A must-win game. A loud crowd. Pressure everywhere. And still, he played free. Almost too free.
Main Details
Sri Lanka needed a big performance to reach the Tri-Series Final. They were put into bat. Early wobble. But then Mishara settled. Slow at first. Sharp later. Boundaries came off Abrar and Nawaz. A solid stand with Kusal Mendis steadied everything. Mishara’s 76 off 48 balls — clean, simple, powerful — became the heartbeat of Sri Lanka’s 184/5.
Pakistan responded well. For a few overs, at least. Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan looked bright. The chase looked alive. But Dushmantha Chameera changed the whole mood in one spell. He removed Farhan and Babar Azam almost instantly. Rawalpindi went quiet. Pakistan slipped to 45/4.
Still, they fought. Salman Ali Agha played a stubborn 63*. Usman Khan and Nawaz added fire too. And suddenly the game was tight again. Ten needed off the last over. Simple on paper. Not simple when Chameera is staring at you. He closed the match with ice. Pakistan ended at 178/7, falling just six runs short.
