Video summary

Press to jump

0:28The opening match begins in Rawalpindi, with Sri Lanka batting first.
1:58Debutant Imran Randhawa takes his first international wicket, with Fakhar Zaman completing the catch.
5:25Lahiru Udara reaches a half-century from 31 balls.
13:00Sahibzada Farhan reaches his half-century during Pakistan's chase.
17:45The opening match reaches its finish, before second-match coverage begins at 17:58.

Naseem Shah removes Sri Lanka's captain in his opening over, and debutant Imran Randhawa soon has his first international wicket. Sports TV's Pakistan-Sri Lanka compilation begins with breakthroughs, before Lahiru Udara gives Pakistan a much tougher chase to consider.

The highlights package has drawn about 111,000 views in nineteen hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos. This is a series recap, not a live match: it gathers the three T20 internationals played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

Sahibzada Farhan supplies the thread running through the series. According to the video's description, he made 238 runs with a half-century in every match. In the opening chase, he reaches his fifty before Khawaja Nafay supplies the finishing six.

Pakistan secured the series by winning the opening two matches, but the compilation also includes Sri Lanka's eight-wicket victory in the finale. Udara's opening-match innings offers another reason to revisit the contest: he comes within sight of a century before Naseem ends his stay.

Nafay also features in another fast-starting Sports TV upload, the Pakistan-India Hong Kong Sixes highlights. There, his rapid hitting alongside Abbas Afridi helps Pakistan complete a very different, much shorter chase.
