Pakistan after being put into the bats first, compiled a total of 112 for the loss of five wickets. With Sri Lanka set to start their run-chase, rain returned to delay the match with the day’s play called off later due to a wet outfield. The match will be completed today.
Earlier, Nain Abidi anchored Pakistan’s innings, scoring a defiant 45 from 50 deliveries with the help of two boundaries. Bismah Maroof also played well for her unbeaten run-a-ball 35. Both added 82 runs for the third-wicket partnership to help Pakistan set a challenging target.
Chandima Gunaratne was the pick of the bowlers for Sri Lanka, claiming a brace for just seven runs from her quota of four overs.
