Several records broken today.
-Highest chase by any team in any WC
-4 centuries made in a single match (has never happened in a WC before, and happened only twice outside of that)
-Highest score by a Pakistani WC debutant Shafique (previous was Mohsin Khan in like the 1983 WC who made a 80+ score or something)
-SL captain's FIRST loss to Pakistan (he had won the 6 ODI and T20 encounters before this)
-First win by Pak against a Full Member in a WC that took place in India
Hopefully this gives good momentum for the rest of the tournament. Need to win 4 out of the next 7 games for guaranteed semi-final entry. Winning 3 would give us a 50% chance as it would then possibly come down to NRR.

But have to give credit where credits due to the thousands of Indians who cheered the Pakistani cricket team tonight .

Pakistan 345 for 4 (Rizwan 131*, Shafique 113, Madushanka 2-60) beat Sri Lanka 344 for 9 (Mendis 122, Samarawickrama 108, Hasan Ali 4-71) by six wickets
Sri Lanka were served a harsh lesson in the realities of modern ODI cricket, as Pakistan hunted down a target of 345 - the highest-ever chase in a World Cup - with six wickets to spare. Leading their charge were tons from Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan, which trumped a pair of centuries by Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama, to make it two wins from two for Pakistan.
Rizwan, who suffered from at times seemingly debilitating cramps - the physio came and looked at him twice - for the last 15 overs or so of the chase, remained unbeaten in the end on a 121-ball 131. Together with Shafique - who himself recorded the highest score by a Pakistan debutant at a World Cup with his 113 off 103 - he had put together a third-wicket stand worth 176 off just 156 deliveries.
It was a stand that would break the spine of the chase, though even then it might not have been enough had Rizwan himself not valiantly stuck around till the end. He would put on a further 95 off 68 with Saud Shakeel, and then 37 off 23 with Iftikhar Ahmed, as Pakistan eventually cantered home to a win that will provide them an immense confidence boost ahead of Saturday's massive clash against India.
As for Sri Lanka, it's two defeats in as many games, and after conceding over 750 runs across two matches there will be growing concerns over their bowlers' abilities in handling such batter-friendly tracks.
Despite having Maheesh Theekshana back in the side, Sri Lanka looked bereft of ideas on how to pick up wickets through the middle overs, or even indeed how to stifle the scoring. Theekshana, Dunith Wellalage and Dilshan Madushanka, who were the most economical of the lot, went for 59, 62 and 60 each, while Matheesha Pathirana once more proved expensive being taken for 90 in nine overs.
Pakistan were also clever in ensuring they capitalised on Sri Lanka's need to fulfil their fifth bowler quota. While Dasun Shanaka went for just 28 in his five overs, Dhananjaya de Silva was taken for 36 in four and Charith Asalanka 10 in his solitary over.
Pakistan though will be pleased at the manner in which the chase was accomplished. They were circumspect in the first 10 overs, with Sri Lanka having picked up two wickets, and kept the score to just 48. However, with the knowledge they had power hitters such as Shadab Khan, Iftikhar and Mohammed Nawaz lower down the order, both Shafique and Rizwan were content to play themselves in.
Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan put on a big stand for the third wicket•AP
Even so, between overs 10-20 the pair took 62 runs, before really upping the ante through the middle period. From the overs 20-30 they would score a further 72 runs and then would plunder 99 from the 30th to the 40th, leaving a very gettable 74 off the last 60 deliveries.
Shafique's control percentage of 91% told a story, as he rarely gave the Sri Lankan bowlers a sniff, pouncing on anything short and unafraid to use his feet when necessary. It would take an absolute scorcher at backward point by substitute Dushan Hemantha, in for Kusal Mendis who was off the field with severe cramps, to get rid of him.
Fortunately for Pakistan though, they had a warrior in Rizwan at the other end to ensure the chase would be completed without hiccups.
Sri Lanka though will rue a missed opportunity to put the game to bed with the bat, with Shanaka admitting after the game that they were probably 30 runs short. Indeed, having won the toss and elected to bat first, for much of the Sri Lankan innings this seemed like the batting performance that Sri Lanka had long threatened to put together.
Against both Afghanistan and Bangladesh in the warm-ups they had thrown away promising starts, while against South Africa they had provided glimpses of what their batting line-up was capable of. The next step though was putting it altogether, and for large parts of their innings, it looked Sri Lanka would finally do just that.
While Sri Lanka's struggles at the death and even through the middle are well documented - they've only struck 12 scores above 300 since the end of the 2019 World Cup - but in Hyderabad they batted like a side that had done this a hundred times before.
Across their 50 overs, scarcely did the scoring rate drop below seven an over - for periods even touching 7.5. Much of that was down to Mendis, who carried on from where he had left off against South Africa - well not exactly, he struck at only 158.44 this time out - as he almost single-handedly swamped an unusually blunt Pakistan attack.
