PAK vs SL 3rd T20I LIVE Score: SL 35/2 (3)

Naseem Shah's over was a mix of pressure and release, as Sri Lanka picked up 12 runs largely through Dhananjaya de Silva's clean hitting. After Mendis nudged a single, Dhananjaya took charge, striking two well-timed boundaries-one pulled through midwicket and another wristed in front of square. However, Naseem also sent down two wides and found good bounce and variation, beating Dhananjaya a couple of times with pace and slower balls. Despite those plays and misses, Sri Lanka ended the over strongly at 35/2 after three.
