Maheesh Theekshana to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, OUT! TRAPPED PLUMB IN FRONT! Fuller around middle and leg, Rahmanullah Gurbaz shuffled to his leg looking for the sweep but the ball sneaks past his bat and hits his front pad. Loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Rahmanullah Gurbaz asks for a review. Nothing on UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking suggests three reds hence the on-field decision stays.

Binura Fernando to Gulbadin Naib, OUT! Afghanistan falling apart in this big chase. Slower one, fingers rolled over it around off, Gulbadin Naib looks to clear mid on but lofts this straight to Wanindu Hasaranga at mid on and departs.

Maheesh Theekshana to Naveen-ul-Haq, FOUR! Nicely done! Flatter and shorter, on off, Naveen-ul-Haq waits on it and dabs it late behind square on the off side. He manages to beat the deep backward point fielder to his left for a boundary.

16.3
Matheesha Pathirana to Naveen-ul-Haq, OUT! CASTLED! Matheesha Pathirana has done what he does best! He goes through the defence of Naveen-ul-Haq and Sri Lanka are now a wicket away from sealing the series. Angles it in, on middle and leg stump line, on a fullish length. Naveen-ul-Haq does get his bat down in time but the ball tails back in to go past the inside edge and rattles into the leg stump.

Matheesha Pathirana to Fazalhaq Farooqi, OUT! TAKEN! THAT'S IT! All over for Afghanistan! Matheesha Pathirana finishes things off! Bowls it on a length, outside off, Fazalhaq Farooqi backs away and shapes up to go up and over on the off side. He fails to get the desired connection as the ball comes off the bottom half of the bat and lobs towards cover. Dasun Shanaka stationed there, times the jump to perfection and takes it over his head to his left. Sri Lanka win by 72 runs and have sealed the series!
