Salman Agha's comeback to international cricket proved memorable as the Pakistan batter struck a century to guide his team to victory in the tri-series curtain-raiser. Playing at home in Rawalpindi, Pakistan posted a competitive total, with Agha's unbeaten performance forming the cornerstone of their innings.
The hosts' batting display proved decisive against Sri Lanka's bowling attack. Agha's return to the international stage after an absence highlighted Pakistan's squad depth as the team aims for momentum in the tri-series format.
Sri Lanka's chase fell short by 37 runs, unable to mount an effective response to Pakistan's total. The defeat marks a challenging start for the island nation in the tournament.
The tri-series continues with further matches scheduled as the three participating teams vie for supremacy in the limited-overs competition. Pakistan's opening success will provide confidence heading into upcoming fixtures.
