On the back of 3 half centuries from Mohammad Basit Ali (56), Haris Khan (54) and Qasim Akram (51), Pakistan youngsters reached 264 for 7 which is a formidable target for any opposition in U19 Cricket.

The pick of the bowlers for Sri Lanka was Dilshan Madushanka from Hungama Vijayabahu Central who created 3 breakthroughs with his left arm pace.

Sri Lanka got off to a rapid start, stealing 43 runs from 8 overs, but lost their two openers – Thaveesha Kahaduwaarachchi (18) & Kavindu Wickramasinghe (14) in the process.

The skipper Kamil Mishara joined Ravindu de Silva for a brilliant 132 runs partnership for the 3rd wicket taking Sri Lanka to 175 in just 29.3 overs. Most aggressive partner from the Roy-Tho combination was the Thomian, Ravindu de Silva who maintained an impressive 126.86 strike rate through his 85 runs knock.

Silva laid the foundation for this heavy run chase while Mishara played the anchor role, taking the responsibility as the captain to guide Sri Lanka U19s to safety. His 87-run vigil took 118 balls and ended when the total was 258.

The finishing touches for the masterful run chase was given by the all-rounder Avishka Tharindu’s bat. He too mustered a valuable run-a-ball 40.

Sri Lanka U19 won the 5th YODI by 5 wickets, chasing the target inside 46.5 overs as the series concluded 3-2 in favour of Pakistan U19.
