Sri Lanka Break their 11 T20 match losing streak in India after Axar almost upsetting it

Axar Patel tried his absolute best with both bat and ball, but Dasun Shanaka continued his all-around domination of India to bring up a 16-run win for Sri Lanka. Arshdeep had his worst game bowling 7 no balls which did not help matters. With Series levelled it should setup for a great final T20 contest.

Sarfaraz played the Match of his life to save Pakistan

Jail a break for the hosts with the last pair batting out 21 balls, but they weren't too far from winning this, just 15 runs away from a record chase in Karachi. New Zealand started the day as the favorites to win, they ended the day a wicket away thanks to former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed's scintillating hundred to become the highest scorer of the series with 3 fifties and the best reserved for the last day, a stunning 4th Test hundred.
