Brief:
In a gripping opening ODI of the three-match series at Rawalpindi on 11 November 2025, the Pakistan national cricket team defeated Sri Lanka national cricket team by just six runs. Salman Ali Agha smashed an unbeaten 105 off 87 balls, while Haris Rauf claimed 4-61 to steer Pakistan to 299 for 5 and defend it successfully. The match featured early wickets, a middle-order rescue, and late-innings tension that had fans on edge. For Pakistan, the win extends momentum ahead of the Champions Trophy and signals depth in both batting and bowling. Sri Lanka will regroup quickly, having shown fight, especially in Hasaranga’s contributions. For Pakistan fans, the narrow victory is both satisfying and a reminder of vulnerability: 299 proved defendable, but against stronger sides, the margin of error is small. The next two games will test consistency, adaptability and performance under pressure. If Pakistan consolidate this start, the series win is firmly within reach.
