Agha, Rauf Shine as Pakistan Edge Sri Lanka in Thriller to Take 1-0 Lead
Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by six runs in the opening ODI in Rawalpindi on Tuesday, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Salman Agha starred with an unbeaten 105 off 87 balls, guiding Pakistan to 299-5 after a 138-run stand with Hussain Talat (62). Haris Rauf then claimed 4-61 to restrict Sri Lanka to 293-9 despite Wanindu Hasaranga’s valiant 59.
