Cricket
Pakistan and Sri Lanka met in the tri-series one-day international final in Lahore on 31 October 2026, with play starting at 08:00 GMT.
Sri Lanka were 5-0 after two overs (Avishka 2, Kamindu 3) and 10-0 after three overs (Avishka 6, Kamindu 4); Avishka struck the first boundary to short fine leg while Kamindu’s attempted pull yielded a single.
The Guardian's live updates noted "Shaheen, something less than a towel, more like an ironed pocket hankerchief, tucked into his waistband" as he ran in, and reported Pakistan’s James Dean and Naseem Shah bowling, with a delivery described as "shorter, skiddier."
