They ended up scoring just 139/4 in their 20 overs at a Run Rate of 6.95. It was the Sri Lankan Captain, Mahela Jayawardene, who topped the innings with his 42 (36 balls). The heavy hitting T. Dilshan also got off to a steady start, 35 (43 balls) but could not capitalize. The other batsmen did not fire up therefore were dismissed. The Pakistan bowling attack did nothing out of the ordinary. It was tight bowling from S. Tanvir and Mohammad Hafeez. Hafeez topped the bowling side in the scorecard with a figure of 1-12 in his two overs. The second innings started well for the Pakistan batsmen with both openers flying off to a good start.
