Pakistan secured a narrow five-run victory over Sri Lanka in their Super 8s match but failed to advance to the semifinals due to net run-rate calculations. Sahibzada Farhan's record-breaking century powered Pakistan to 212-8, yet Sri Lanka's spirited chase to 207-6 ensured New Zealand progressed instead. The result leaves England, New Zealand, and South Africa in the last four, with India and West Indies vying for the final spot.
The bilateral white-ball cricket series between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, scheduled for March in the United Arab Emirates, has been postponed until the last quarter of 2026. The Afghanistan Cricket Board cited logistical challenges from ongoing regional tensions, including flight constraints. The decision follows disruptions caused by recent air strikes and drone incidents in the area.
