The Lions post a modest 134-run target

Finally, the Lions made their ways to a no-way-bad target, crossing their hundred in last four overs, ensuring a 127 in total however thanks to the extras conceded by Pakistan bowlers that enabled the rivals to post a 134-run target for 8 wickets.

During their innings, 6th-In Chamika Karunaratne and 8th-In Maheesh Theekshana remained unbeaten. Undefeated Chamika added 17 off 21 to the team’s total.

Remarkable bowlers of Shaheens

Star bowlers Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Hussain Talat and Abrar Ahmed went remarkable for claiming wickets. Afridi remained the best pacer for downing three wickets, while Rauf and Talat who picked two each were second to Afridi. Abrar’s one but valuable wicket also put him as good contributor for Shaheens.
