Do or die situation game for the visitor in the second T-20I and eventually they lose the game and T-20I series. All-rounder Shadab Khan hit a last over six to give Pakistan a sensational two-wicket win in the second Twenty20 international against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi on Friday. Needing 12 off the final over, and eight from the last three balls, Shadab smashed Sri Lankan pacer Vikum Sanjaya for a six and then took a couple off the next delivery to help Pakistan chase down a modest 125-run target in 19.5 overs. Shadab remained not out with an eight-ball 16 with a six and a boundary to give Pakistan an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Earlier in the innings, fast bowler Faheen Ashraf upset the Sri Lankan batsmen innings with figures of 3-16 in his four-over, as he became the first Pakistan player to achieve a hat-trick in Twenty20 Internationals. That gave Pakistan eight wickets in the space of just 20 balls for 18 runs as Sri Lanka ended on 124-9 in 20 overs. Danushka Gunathilaka top-scored with a 48-ball 51 with four boundaries and a six but Ashraf's feat stopped Sri Lanka from posting a challenging total. Sri Lankan newly crown skipper Thisara Perera then grabbed 3-24 in his four overs to leave Pakistan in a spot of bother, dismissed Shoaib Malik for nine with the total at 55-4.
