Pakistan Suffer Batting Collapse to Record Second-Lowest ODI Total in Lahore - Tapmad

Pakistan suffered a major batting collapse against Sri Lanka on Tuesday, getting bowled out for just 110 at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore during the ongoing ODI tri-series. It was their second-lowest ODI total at the venue, only behind their 75 all out also against Sri Lanka in 2009. The hosts struggled from the start after choosing to bat first. Fakhar Zaman managed only five runs, while Maaz Sadaqat and Saad Baig scored eight and five respectively before Pakistan lost three wickets inside the first seven overs. Salman Ali Agha and Babar Azam tried to get the innings back on track, but Agha was dismissed for nine off 14 balls. Babar offered some resistance with 29 off 33 deliveries, hitting five fours, but Eshan Malinga removed him to leave Pakistan at 61/5 after 13.1 overs. Shadab Khan, who was the hero for Pakistan in the last match against England, also could not perform and got dismissed after scoring just two runs. Arafat Minhas and Hasan Nawaz then tried to steady the innings, but neither could take Pakistan to a competitive total. The lower order of Pakistan also failed miserably, as Sri Lanka kept picking regular wickets to maintain an edge in the contest. As a result, the green shirts were dismantled for just 110 in the first innings, recording their second-lowest total ever scored in Lahore.
