Kamindu Mendis gets to finish Pakistan off twice in this match. First he dives at slip to hold Haris Rauf's chipped shot for the ninth wicket. Then he opens the batting and, by the description's account, stays unbeaten on 62 as Sri Lanka knock off 111 with plenty to spare.

The damage before that belongs to Dilshan Madushanka. He has Fakhar Zaman caught at gully in the third over, removes Saad Baig and Arafat Minhas, and closes the innings by taking Shaheen Shah Afridi's wicket. "Fifer!" the commentator calls, as Pakistan are bowled out for 110 at Gaddafi Stadium. In between, Babar Azam's 29 ends with an lbw that Pakistan review and lose. By the time Shadab Khan gloves one behind, "I don't think Pakistan have got any reviews left," a commentator notes. Shaheen's late sixes are the only real swing back.

Sports Central by DRM, a clips channel run by Dot Republic Media, cut the match into almost a dozen uploads, from powerplays to a stand-alone Madushanka video. The full highlights went furthest, passing 800,000 views in 14 hours, roughly a hundred times the channel's usual first day for a video of this length. Its live stream of an Afghanistan-Zimbabwe T20 in Sharjah drew a big audience on the same day too.

The comments are full of Sri Lankan flags and greetings from Bangladesh and India. The most liked ones keep coming back to one wish: to see Sri Lanka play like the sides of the past again. Others point to timestamps, from a Babar shot to the catch of the match. One viewer is amused that the editor got a 28-minute video out of a match that ended so fast.
