Sri Lanka vs Pakistan ICC World Cup 50th Match – Match Result
Updated：Pakistan won by 5 runs.
| Pakistan | Sri Lanka |
| 212/8(20) | 207/6(20) |
Sahibzada Farhan’s record-breaking 100 and Fakhar Zaman’s blistering 84 powered Pakistan to 212 for 8 and a five-run win over Sri Lanka, but it was not enough to secure a semi-final spot at the 2026 T20 World Cup. Needing a massive margin, Pakistan fell short despite a 176-run opening stand, the highest partnership in tournament history, and Farhan surpassing Virat Kohli’s record for most runs in a single edition. A late collapse with the bat and Sri Lanka crossing the qualification threshold in the chase meant New Zealand joined England and South Africa in the knockouts, leaving Pakistan’s spirited push just short.
A thrilling finish in Kandy sees Pakistan hold their nerve to wrap up their #T20WorldCup campaign 👊
