Sri Lanka beat Pakistan by 37 runs in 1st T20

Posted: 01 Jun 2012 12:20 PM PDT


Sri Lanka put on a brilliant bowling and fielding performance to post a comfortable 37-run victory over Pakistan in their opening Twenty20 international on Friday.

Pakistan were bowled out for 95, their lowest T20 total against Sri Lanka, after restricting the hosts to 132-7 in Hambantota.

Sri Lankan pacemen Nuwan Kulasekara, Angelo Mathews and Lasith Malinga and debutant off-spinner Sachithra Senanayake took two wickets apiece after man-of-the-match Thisara Perera scored a crucial 32 not out.

Opener Ahmed Shehzad top-scored for Pakistan with 36 while the extras contributed 19 runs, the second-highest of the innings. Umar Akmal (12) was the other batsman to reach double-figures.

Pakistan never recovered after losing two wickets off the first two balls of the innings, with Kulasekara removing skipper Mohammad Hafeez and debutant Shakeel Ansar.

The Sri Lankan bowlers were backed by their fielders, with Perera and Kulasekara each taking a superb catch.

Left-arm paceman Sohail Tanvir earlier grabbed three big wickets as Pakistan restricted Sri Lanka.

He jolted the top order when he dismissed skipper Mahela Jayawardene, Tillakaratne Dilshan and Kumar Sangakkara in his opening three overs to reduce the hosts to 31-3.

Tanvir finished with 3-12 off four tight overs, his best performance in Twenty20 internationals, while off-spinner Saeed Ajmal bagged two wickets for 20 runs.

Perera smashed two sixes and as many fours in his 16-ball knock to help his team make 43 runs off the last 22 balls.

Lahiru Thirimanne, making his T20 debut, was the other main scorer with a 25-ball 30.

Sri Lanka made a poor start after electing to bat, losing four wickets in the opening eight overs with just 39 on the board.

Tanvir struck with his third delivery when he had Jayawardene caught by Shoaib Malik in the covers and then had Dilshan caught by Umar Gul at fine-leg in his next over.

Sangakkara (19) hit three successive fours off paceman Mohammad Sami before he inside-edged a Tanvir delivery onto his stumps.

The second and final Twenty20 match will be played on Sunday.

Mahela Jayawardene: I thought that catch landed on my fingers and it really hurt but I think the umpires thought differently. I think the policy of trusting fielders was tried earlier in Australia but that didn’t work. All in all I think it was a good game that was played in the right spirit. These guys have been playing for quite some time now and are experienced blokes. I think the fielding was really good and if we can be consistent with such performances then we will be quite tough to beat.

Mohammad Hafeez: We had our moments but we couldn’t capitalise on them. We started off well and we weren’t giving away too many runs until the end when Perera batted very well. We need to work really hard now and come back well in the next game. Our bowlers did well for us today and we can take some positives from this game. We shouldn’t get too disheartened as it is only one loss.

Thisara Perera: This is my first match after the injury and I really enjoyed it. I was out for one and a half months. I was just bowling quite naturally. Fielding is something I work very hard on.

Thisara Perera is the Man of the Match
