Sri Lanka’s bowlers kept Pakistan in check, with Ranatunga himself delivering an effective spell. Despite Salim Malik’s patient 53, Pakistan were restricted to a modest total. The chase was delicately poised at 65/3, when Ranatunga arrived at the crease. Displaying brilliant sweeping and strike rotation, he controlled the innings expertly. Partnering first with Roshan Mahanama (who retired hurt with cramp) and then with Hashan Tillekeratne, Ranatunga added a match-winning 116-run stand. Pakistan missed Wasim Akram due to a hamstring injury, but could not prevent Sri Lanka from sealing a comfortable victory. 🏆 Man of the Match: Arjuna Ranatunga A memorable Sri Lankan win against a strong Pakistan side! #cricketmax #pakvssl #highlights #thriller #worldseries
