In a dramatic conclusion to their T20 World Cup campaign, Sri Lanka fell just six runs short of chasing Pakistan's imposing total of 213, finishing at 207 for 6. Despite Sri Lanka's valiant effort, which included a last-over surge by captain Dasun Shanaka, Pakistan's victory, though narrow, was enough to mathematically eliminate them from semifinal contention. The crucial factor determining progression to the last four was the net run rate, with New Zealand advancing over Pakistan due to this statistical advantage, as Sri Lanka's inability to restrict Pakistan to 147 or fewer meant Pakistan's high score did not adequately improve their run rate. This match followed an exceptional opening partnership between Pakistan's Sahibzada Farhan, who scored a century, and Fakhar Zaman, who contributed 84, setting a record for Pakistan in T20 World Cup history and powering them to 212 for 8, although a late collapse saw them lose eight wickets for 36 runs in the final four overs.
