Sri Lanka had been riding an influx of progress since the last T20 World Cup, winning three out of six respective T20I series and 22 out of 32 games, however Pakistan, who had lost four out of their last six series and 16 out of 27 games, had the proportion of them on a sluggish, low Sharjah pitch.
Run-scoring was worked on the first day of the season of the competition and scoring rates didn't get over six an over however Pakistan's 116 still looked well worse than average.

Floated by their endeavors in the field, Sri Lanka would have liked their possibilities pulling off triumph however fared the most horrendously awful of the four groups in real life today with the bat. They were secured by turn, especially Omaima Sohail's offspin and absence of speed. With the ball moving gradually through the air and keeping low, the Sri Lanka hitters were frequently excessively ahead of schedule into their shots. They were diminished to 52 for 5 in the thirteenth over and there was no approaching back from that.
The competition's initial six
It took until the third over of the second match before the World Cup saw its initial six and it came from Pakistan's just centurion in the configuration: Muneeba Ali. She progressed down the track against Sri Lanka's just seamer, Prabodhani, and sent her 63 meters over midwicket limit.

That brought Pakistan's last perceived player, finisher Aliya Riaz, to the wrinkle with a lot of opportunity to trade out however she missed the line of the following ball and was hit on the front cushion. Riaz was strolling off as she looked into and the ball-following uncovered it was hitting center and leg stump. Athapaththu was on a full go-around and verged on getting it when Diana Baig edged the following ball yet wicketkeeper Anushka Sanjeewani couldn't hang on. Athapaththu got done with 3 or 18 from her four overs.
It very well may be contended that Sana made a strategic bungle by batting herself at No. 7 however she scored 30 off 20 balls, which wound up changing the game, and afterward assumed incredible liability with the ball. Baig just bowled one ball before she pulled up with what resembled a calf injury and Sana chose to take over right away. She completed Baig's finished and kept herself on for more, when she took out her contrary number. Athapaththu was heavy footed when she drove Sana to additional cover where Sohail took a decent catch to one side. Athapaththu comprehended the size existing apart from everything else and punched her bat as she strolled off the field. Her excusal sent Sri Lanka into a shell, and they completed the powerplay on 26 for 2, with the expected rate currently up at 6.50.
Gunaratne and gone

All things considered, a representation of the sorts of shots were being played in disappointment as the Pakistan spinners turned out to be increasingly more challenging to move away. On a major outfield, Sri Lanka scored 47 singles however just nine twos and keeping in mind that Pakistan were just possibly better with 51 singles and 11 twos, those small edges have an effect.
