Pakistan win tri-series final as Fakhar Zaman century denies Sri Lanka in thrilling chase

Pakistan secured the tri-series title after a high-scoring final against Sri Lanka at Gaddafi Stadium. Fakhar Zaman led the hosts' successful pursuit of a 326-run target with a dominant 127-run performance off 99 deliveries, overshadowing Kamindu Mendis's 131-run effort for the visitors.

Following Zaman's departure, Arafat Minhas and Hasan Nawaz navigated the middle order with a crucial 94-run stand to keep the chase on track. Shaheen Afridi ultimately sealed the three-wicket victory with a six in the penultimate over, despite late wickets from Minhas and Faheem Ashraf.
