The climax of the Women's Under-19 Tri-Series in Pakistan 2026 arrived in spectacular fashion when Sanjana Kavindi smashed a rapid 61 off just 46 deliveries, steering Sri Lanka U19-Women to a nine‑wicket triumph over Pakistan U19-Women at the buzzing Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad. The match, played under partly sunny skies with a temperature hovering around 33.3 °C, turned into a showcase of youthful power‑hitting and disciplined bowling, delivering a live score that will be replayed in the series highlights.
Match Summary
Winning the toss, Sri Lanka U19-Women elected to bowl first, a decision that paid immediate dividends. Pakistan U19-Women posted a modest total of 110 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs, anchored by Komal Khan’s gritty 54 off 59 balls. Ravail Farhan added a quick 26 off 26, but the Sri Lankan bowlers kept the run‑rate in check. Chamodhi Herath’s tidy spell of 1 for 10 in four overs and Danodya Sewmini’s 1 for 14 in two overs were instrumental in restricting the hosts.
In response, Sri Lanka’s openers paced the chase, with Sanjana Kavindi and Vimoksha Balasuriya combining for a 104‑run partnership. Kavindi’s 61, peppered with 8 fours and 2 sixes, set the tone, while Balasuriya’s steady 43 off 46 balls ensured the chase never stalled. Mahnoor Zaib’s lone wicket for Sri Lanka (1 for 18 in four overs) was the only blemish on an otherwise dominant bowling display. The match concluded at 111 for 1 in just 15.2 overs, handing Sri Lanka a comfortable nine‑wicket win.
Key Performances
Sanjana Kavindi (SLWU19) – 61 runs off 46 balls (8 fours, 2 sixes). Her aggressive stroke play dismantled the Pakistani bowlers, turning the chase into a sprint. Kavindi’s innings was the cornerstone of the Pakistan U19-Women vs Sri Lanka U19-Women Youth T20 encounter.
Vimoksha Balasuriya (SLWU19) – 43 runs off 46 balls. Providing stability at the other end, Balasuriya’s well‑timed boundaries kept the required run‑rate low.
Komal Khan (PAKWU19) – 54 runs off 59 balls. Despite the loss, Khan’s half‑century was a fighting effort that kept Pakistan in contention.
Chamodhi Herath (PAKWU19) – 1/10 in 4 overs. Her disciplined line and length limited Pakistan’s scoring options.
Mahnoor Zaib (SLWU19) – 1/18 in 4 overs. The only wicket for Sri Lanka, but her economical spell helped maintain pressure.
Turning Points
The match pivoted on three decisive moments. First, the early breakthrough by Chamodhi Herath, dismissing Pakistan’s top‑order batter, halted the momentum of the innings. Second, the partnership between Kavindi and Balasuriya, which surged past the 50‑run mark within the first 6 overs of the chase, effectively removed any doubt about the target. Finally, a crucial catch at mid‑wicket to dismiss Pakistan’s Komal Khan in the 14th over curtailed any late‑innings resurgence, cementing Sri Lanka’s dominance.
Series Implications
With this win, Sri Lanka U19-Women improve to 2‑0 in the tri‑series, while Pakistan U19-Women remain winless after two outings. The result not only boosts Sri Lanka’s confidence heading into the next fixtures but also underscores the importance of depth in the batting order for Pakistan. The next match will see Sri Lanka aiming to maintain their unbeaten run, while Pakistan must regroup and find ways to convert starts into bigger totals.
