The quality bowling of Pakistani bowlers ensured that the Sri Lankan team will not be able to reach the mark of 200 runs. The Sri Lankan team is behind by 1-0 in the series. Looks like they are already feeling the pressure. Maybe that is the reason they were not able to tackle the quality bowling of the Pakistani team.

Quality bowling of Abrar Ahmed and Naseem Shah
Abrar Ahmed is certainly one of the most promising bowlers for Pakistan. In his short career of 5 Test matches, he has already taken 34 wickets. He is certainly taking wickets at a very good pace. On the other hand, Naseem Shah ensured that he tries to match up the class of his partner Ahmed.
- The opening partnership of Sri Lanka was not successful. The stand was only 9 runs because Nishan Madushka got run out.
- Sri Lanka had the aim of having a good 3rd wicket partnership. However, Naseem Shah had some other plans. He got the wicket of the captain, Karunaratne. Soon, the score was 23-2.
- Chandimal was settled, and he could have been dangerous for the opponent. But Shah got his wicket too in the 33rd over. Now the score was 121-5.
- The centurion of the last match Dhananjaya de Silva looked in good touch. He ensured to stay there and ensured to maintain hope for the team. However, it was time for Abrar Ahmed to join the action.
- Soon, Abrar Ahmed got the wicket of Silva, and the hope of Sri Lankan to set a big total was completely gone.
- Ahmed even took the wicket of Samarawickrama, R Mendis, and Fernando.
After looking at the excellent bowling performance of the Pakistani bowlers, it can be said that Shah started the show and Ahmed finished it. Now it is going to be very difficult for the Sir Lankan team to make a comeback from here.
