All's well that ends in a catch: Ashraf saves Pakistan after Baig's drop - Watch

Pakistan secured a narrow 37-run victory over Sri Lanka in the ODI Tri-Series after a dramatic finish that hinged on a relay catch by Faheem Ashraf. Sri Lanka’s early momentum faltered when Saad Baig, the young wicketkeeper, dropped Avishka Fernando’s edge in the sixth over, but Ashraf stepped in to complete the catch behind him, breaking the opening partnership.

Pakistan had set a competitive total of 305, with Salman Ali Agha anchoring the innings with a patient 107 off 90 balls, while Babar Azam reached 16,000 international runs—a milestone achieved by only four other Pakistani batters. Sri Lanka’s chase collapsed after that setback, with their total of 268 falling short despite a steady start from their top order.
