Sahibzada Farhan scored 89 off 53 balls in his first match as Pakistan's full-time Twenty20 captain, guiding the hosts to a four-wicket win with seven balls to spare over Sri Lanka in the series opener in Rawalpindi on Friday. Pakistan chased down 183 for the win, helped by a 92-run second-wicket stand with Maaz Sadaqat, who made a maiden T20I fifty, while Lahiru Udara's 91 had earlier lifted Sri Lanka to 182-8. The result gives Pakistan a 1-0 lead in the three-match series and an encouraging start to Farhan's captaincy.
