An unbeaten 61 from captain Sarfraz Ahmed allowed Pakistan to set up a semi-final showdown with host nation England at the ICC Champions Trophy on Monday (12th June) following a tense three-wicket victory over Sri Lanka. Pakistan, chasing a seemingly modest 237 to win, collapsed to 162 for seven. But an unbroken stand of 75 between Sarfraz, dropped twice on his way to 61 not out, and Mohammad Amir (28 not out) saw Pakistan complete a thrilling win. (Match Highlights) | (Scorecard)
