All that Namibia and Netherlands will be hoping is for UAE to get as close to 150
Anywhere above 120 means SL will have to defeat Netherlands by a big margin which may not be that easy#T20WorldCup2022 #T20WorldCup #SLvsUAE— Cricketloveruae (@lovecricketuae) October 18, 2022
The SL star gets is 50th T20I wicket as Muhammad Waseem, plays a loose drive and drags the ball on the stumps!
The ball hooping in the air from both ends, for Madushan and @maheesht61. But UAE have begun positively finding the boundary 3 times so far.
It takes the pace of @dushmantha05 to break through and UAE's top scorer from game 1 Waseem is out!#SLvUAE #T20WorldCup
— Armchair Cricket Podcast (@ArmchairCricPod) October 18, 2022

After losing three consecutive wickets, there was a time when everyone, including us, was taught that Lankans wouldn’t make it, but looking at Pathum’s magnificent innings, we are assured that they will score 150 plus. Lankans are in the 19th over of the game.
Some efforts in the shot by Pathum Nissanka – slips and his shoe out. pic.twitter.com/ZW9UFAcYo1
— Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) October 18, 2022
57 in 49 balls, much needed innings for Sri Lanka! There are high expectations on Pathuma SL look determined to get a big score against UAE.
Indeed an excellent over from Meiyappan, but Sri Lanka has done this before, and there are high hopes they will do that again too. It’s a good spinning track. Imagine the devastation Hasranga would do with the ball.
Wanindu Hasaranga is such frustrating batter to watch. Jeez. #SLvUAE
— Estelle Vasudevan (@Estelle_Vasude1) October 18, 2022
14: 48: UAE are now back in the game, what a great spell by Meiyappan. The Lankans are in deep trouble now.

14:41 PM IST- Junaid proves costly as Nissanka is on a rampage!
After 5 wides, Nissanka managed to get 2 consecutive boundaries with the next ball also going for 4 leg byes.
Nissanka looked like he just brought up his 50 with a fine glance down leg side – but's it been called leg byes; he's still on 47 #SLvUAE #T20WorldCup

Zahoor Khan concedes just 3 runs of the ninth over! Some tight bowling by the speedster!
14:09 PM IST- Mieyappan brought into attack
Sri Lankan batters are having a lot of conversations as they continue to assert dominance over UAE! Pathum Nissanka is closing on his 50! 68/1 after 8 overs!
Sri Lanka's target should be win against UAE rather than thinking about a big win. Pitch in Geelong is tricky, slow and two-paced. Fast scoring can lead to loss of wickets.#CricketTwitter #T20WorldCup2022 #T20WorldCup #SLvUAE
