In the dressing room after we bowled, every player had the belief that we were going to chase that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/\/im.rediff.com\/cricket\/2023\/oct\/10kusal-mendis.png?w=670&#038;h=900\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was also the first time in a World Cup match that four centuries had been hit and Mendis got the ball rolling with a blistering knock after being dropped on eight by Shaheen Shah Afridi and on 18 by Imam-ul-Haq.<\/p>\n<p>He dominated Pakistan&#8217;s bowlers earlier with 14 fours and six sixes to score 122 before Samarawickrama dropped anchor to make 108 as Sri Lanka posted 344-9 in 50 overs, although they were restricted at the end by Ali (4-71) and Haris Rauf (2-64).<\/p>\n<p>Mendis reached his century in 65 balls &#8212; the fastest by a Sri Lankan at the World Cup &#8212; flicking pacer Hasan Ali for a six off his legs to eclipse former skipper Kumar Sangakkara, whose ton had come off 70 balls against England in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mendis is in form at the moment and is in another zone,&#8221; Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka said as he counted the positives ahead of their clash with Australia next week. &#8220;It&#8217;s his time in the tournament and there&#8217;s more to come from him.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/\/im.rediff.com\/cricket\/2023\/oct\/10sadeera.png?w=670&#038;h=900\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Also, Sadeera has been playing very well in the recent past so really happy with the way those guys played, but in the end we should have finished a bit stronger than this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With the way the wicket behaved, we were 20-25 runs short.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan made a shaky start as Dilshan Madushanka (2-60) dismissed Imam and Babar Azam inside eight overs and Shafique was cautious early on before cutting loose to build a superb 176-run partnership with Rizwan.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/\/im.rediff.com\/cricket\/2023\/oct\/10shafiq.png?w=670&#038;h=900\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Shafique, who replaced the out-of-form Fakhar Zaman, cracked 10 fours and three sixes and was primed to stay until the end on his World Cup debut but he fell to Matheesha Pathirana after a stunning catch by substitute Dushan Hemantha.<\/p>\n<p>Rizwan was hit on his face and battled cramps after getting into the eighties but soldiered on for his third century, before guiding them home by hitting the winning runs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/\/im.rediff.com\/cricket\/2023\/oct\/10rizwan-ton.png?w=670&#038;h=900\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All credit to the boys, especially Shafique and Rizwan. The way Rizwan played, he built the partnership and put pressure on the Sri Lankans,&#8221; said Pakistan skipper Babar, whose side meet arch-rivals India in Ahmedabad on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m very happy with Shafique and impressed with the way he is playing. It&#8217;s his first World Cup so he&#8217;s hungry to play. I saw in the nets he&#8217;s in good nick so I decided to play him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>World Cup 2023<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rediff.com\/cricket\/report\/icc-wc-2023-pix-records-tumble-in-hyderabad-as-pak-script-historic-win\/20231011.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan made it two wins from two World Cup matches as batsmen Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique hit centuries in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":317229,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
