After having recovered from a poor start to restrict the Lankans to 150 for 7, the Pakistanis were guilty of throwing away the match that seemed in their control at 101 for 3 in the 16th over with two set batsmen — Misbah-ul Haq and captain Younis Khan — at the crease. They ended up making 131 for 9.
Seven runs later, Younis Khan fell trying to force the pace, leaving the tailenders with an uphill task at the death but Lasith Malinga hammered the nails firmly into the Pakistan coffin.
Brief scores: Sri Lanka 150/7 in 20 overs (T. Dilshan 46) beat Pakistan 131/9 in 20 overs (Y. Khan 50; L. Malinga 3/17).
