​📉 Sri Lanka’s Batting Collapse Analysis

​Sri Lanka's chase never truly found flight. Chasing a steep 216 runs, they were rocked early by Pakistan's pace attack:

• ​Early Top-Order Tremors: Pakistan took early control as Sri Lanka slid to 64/4 in 10 overs. Key middle-order batters Kusal Mendis (9), Kamindu Mendis (23), and Sahan Arachchige (0) succumbed under the rapidly climbing required run rate.

• ​Mounting Pressure: With the required rate exceeding 15 runs per over by the halfway mark, Sri Lanka's middle order took forced risks, resulting in catches across the ring and denying them any substantial partnerships.
