Fakhar Zaman 76(91)
31.3
Pradeep to Fakhar Zaman, out Caught by Shanaka!! Two wickets in two overs for Pradeep in this comeback spell. That makes things interesting. It was banged in short and was well wide of off, Fakhar Zaman gets under it and upper cuts it straight to the man at third man. It wasn't timed that well but the most surprising part was that he didn't put enough power behind the shot. Had he thrown his hands at it wildly, it might have sailed over.
