PAK VS SL - 1st T20I, Pakistan v Sri Lanka in UAE, 2017

Sri Lanka's batting woes only deepen as this tour progresses, with some really abject performances. Yes, the Pakistan bowling was good, but some of the application from their players was really disappointing. Perera is confident of some improvement tomorrow. We'll see if that happens. Do join us then. For now, it's a goodbye from Sagar Chawla on behalf of Vineet Anantharaman and Raju Peethala.

Sarfraz: Tremendous effort from the whole team. Boys are working really hard in all three departments, credit to the team. We try to stick to basics in T20 cricket with batsmen looking to go hard. There is scope to get in new players, we are looking at the combination. Moving up the order is an option but it's about keeping players in form up there. Our focus is to not lose wickets in first six overs. Hoping to improve our run rate in the powerplay overs -- interview translated from Urdu

Perera: If we look back at today's match, we have to score runs. Our bowlers are doing pretty well. They are giving their 100%. This is one of the best bowling sides I've seen in last one and half years. Have to do smart things with the batting. 100% confident we'll do better tomorrow.

Usman Khan, Man of the Match: I felt in good rhythm. There was some support from the pitch. Coaches always urge to stick to basics, and that's what I try to do. I was bowling with good pace, and I just wanted to stick to line and length. I can bat a bit too. Morale is good with the team. Enjoy bowling with Fahim Ashraf -- interview translated from Urdu.

23:01 Local Time, 19:01 GMT, 00:31 IST: Another comprehensive performance from Pakistan. They've continued right where the left off from the ODI series. Their bowlers, all six of them, were among the wickets this evening to bundle Sri Lanka out for 102. And that was the game right there. There was a bit of a flutter early on with a couple of quick wickets. But the arrival of Shoaib Malik, who looked in absolutely brilliant touch, made it a cruise for the hosts. We'll be back with the presentations..

Shanaka to Hafeez, 1 run, good length ball outside off, Hafeez eases it through the covers for a comprehensive Pakistani win. They take a 1-0 lead in the series

Shanaka to Hafeez, 2 runs, driven through the covers for a couple. Scores level

Dasun Shanaka, right-arm medium, comes into the attack

Just three more

Udana to Shoaib Malik, 2 runs, short ball, and like he has dealt with these earlier, controls his pull down through backward square

Udana to Shoaib Malik, no run, short ball outside off, left alone

Udana to Hafeez, 1 run, the slower ball slips out of his fingers and ends up as a juicy full toss down leg, Hafeez simply helps it to fine leg

Udana to Hafeez, no run, full ball angled in at the stumps, turned to short mid-wicket by Hafeez

Udana to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, pretty high full toss outside off, steered down to third man

Udana to Shoaib Malik, no run, squeezes out the yorker to short mid-wicket

Isuru Udana [2.0-0-14-0] is back into the attack

Sanjaya to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, helps the short ball down to fine leg with a pull shot

Sanjaya to Shoaib Malik, 2 runs, gorgeously driven through extra-cover, collects two before long-off cuts it off

Sanjaya to Hafeez, 1 run, flicked in the air to the left of deep backward square who puts down a pretty regulation catch. Munaweera is the culprit. Just a disappointing night overall for Sri Lanka

Sanjaya to Hafeez, FOUR, now this short ball is straighter, and Hafeez is able to belt the pull to the long leg fence
