Pakistan’s latest T20I victory brought two standout performances into focus, with Maaz Sadaqat producing a spectacular innings against Sri Lanka at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on October 11, 2026.
The left-hander smashed 96 off just 51 deliveries, hitting six fours and seven sixes. His aggressive strokeplay helped Pakistan recover from a relatively cautious start and build a formidable total.
He narrowly missed a maiden T20I century when he was dismissed on the final ball of the innings. Captain Sahibzada Farhan provided equally important support, scoring 73 from 44 balls.
After Pakistan’s batters set the tone, Muhammad Imran Randhawa delivered a disciplined bowling performance that left Sri Lanka struggling to keep pace with the required run rate.
The right-arm pacer claimed three wickets for just 11 runs in his four overs. His spell included two wickets in successive deliveries, leaving Sri Lanka at 49 for four and putting Pakistan firmly in control of the chase.
Sri Lanka managed 133 for seven in their 20 overs. Maheesh Theekshana remained unbeaten on 32, while Chamindu Wickramasinghe scored 29, but their resistance could not turn the match around.
The 82-run victory gave Pakistan an unassailable 2–0 lead in the three-match T20I series. Having won the opening match by four wickets, the hosts secured the series before the final game, scheduled for October 13 in Rawalpindi.
The second match also produced a landmark team total. Pakistan’s 215 for three was their highest T20I score on home soil and their first total above 200 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
For Maaz, the innings continued an impressive start to international cricket after he made his debut in the opening match. Imran also made an immediate impact in his early T20I appearances.
